Water is the lifeblood of agriculture, and providing ways to optimize water management is key to successful agriculture in an increasingly water-scarce world.
SNF provides a solution to a one of the world’s greatest challenges – feeding 9 billion people by 2050.
SNF has created polymers that optimize water management and reduce soil erosion. These products are already being used in the ornamental sector, in forestry, landscaping and golf courses – and now they are being introduced to agriculture.
This product can increase the water and nutrient retention capacity of soil. Superabsorbent’s can absorb up to 400 times their weight in water. They are used for reforestation, landscaping, horticulture and ornamentals. These products actually increase the water holding capacity of soils for several years. They can be used to reducing irrigation time, water usage, and nutrient losses due to leaching.
This product assists with reducing erosion and crusting and prevents fertilizers and pesticides draining away immediately after application. FLOBOND soluble polymers flocculate the irrigated soil which helps to improve water penetration and soil aeration, and also reduces soil erosion.
