Innovative hydrogels use in the germination and growth of tree species Paulownia tomentosa and Cupressus sempervirens

Research goal: This article presents the results of a research project aimed at demonstrating effects and benefits using an organic ingredient, hydrogel (Hydro Start), to improve germination growth Paulownia tomentosa Cupressus sempervirens seedlings. Materials Methods: The experiments started in May 2022 were conducted CREA-OF greenhouses Pescia (PT) on seeded plants sempervirens. seeds placed pots with various capsules determine whether there any plant growth. Agronomic analyses plants, microbiological substrate evaluation also conducted. Results Discussion: experiment showed that use can quality resistance sown In general, improvement average time was proportional number inserted into sowing; this influenced microbial colonisation soil. Studies show water retained by forms reserve soil increase uptake efficiency plants. Mixing superabsorbent materials (hydrogels) soils or growing media significantly water-holding capacity Water is available for longer period time, making them more resistant, especially during transplanting. Furthermore, incorporation hydrogels allows improved germination, nutrient uptake. Conclusions: shows be used variety ways due their ability retain water. These innovations ensure promote survival drought conditions. new need evaluated not only physical properties, but biological attributes related positive negative aspects bind microorganisms
