A Systematic Review of the Potential of a Dynamic Hydrogel as a Substrate for Sustainable Agriculture

Adopting environmentally friendly or green technology and incorporating new alternative substrates for a sustainable agricultural industry has garnered the attention of numerous researchers. Although super absorbent hydrogels have exhibited great potential, natural hydrogel-based absorbents gained more interest due to their safe properties. The sources novel polymer are easily obtained from wastes, such as polysaccharides, agarose, chitosan, mucilage, with zero minimal cost. also offers several attributes, including water usage cost efficiencies, versatile application, increasing plant growth. Furthermore, can act carrier agent aid in improving properties planting mediums. present review focuses on chemical polymers. It discusses potential application agriculture conservation ecosystems by providing balanced protection seeds, plants, soil. Future perspectives based previous investigations presented.
