Water Absorbing Polymer Crystals Large – Soil Moist – Cricket Water Gel

Description

Water Absorbing Polymer Crystals – Water Gel
Made in the USA from the highest quality materials…
Great for plant watering management, insect cricket farms, hobbyist, science project, etc.
This product, when incorporated into a soil or a substrate, absorbs and retains large quantities of water and nutrients, becoming a gel. It then easily releases the absorbed water and nutrients, enhancing plant growth by allowing the plant to have water and nutrients available at will.
Water absorbing crystals are useful for forestry, horticulture, transplanting, and large scale farming.
They can be:
Pre-hydrated and implemented directly in the field
Incorporated into a substrate (dry or hydrated) and used for nurseries/potting mix
Implemented in the sowing coulter during crop sowing, using a pneumatic micro granular spreader
Water holding capacity is dependent on the electrolyte concentration in the water; this capacity varies between 100-200 times the polymer’s weight in substrate. A sandy soil treated with 3 grams of water absorbing crystals per kilogram of soil holds water twice as long as untreated soil.
