Applications of Absorbent Polymers for Sustainable Plant Protection and Crop Yield

Natural strategies for protecting the environment as well plant, animal and human health is considered one of main goals developed countries. Recently, use absorbent polymers hydrogel in agriculture has demonstrated several benefits soil amendments, saving water content, reducing consumption nutrients, minimizing negative impacts dehydration moisture stress crops controlling phytopathogens. The seed-coating technology establishing a recent common practice used improving seed protection enhancing plant growth. Coating materials include hydrogels based on growth regulators, pesticides, fertilizers antagonist microorganisms. current review highlighted importance different types superabsorbent an integrated strategy to protect seeds, plants balanced manner preserve ecosystem.
