- 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.
