Research Summary
An agricultural water-retaining agent is a substance used in farming and horticulture to enhance the water retention capacity of soil, helping to maintain moisture levels for plants over an extended period. These agents typically consist of hydrophilic polymers or superabsorbent materials that can absorb and retain large amounts of water relative to their weight, slowly releasing it to the soil as needed. By improving soil moisture retention, they help reduce the frequency of irrigation, particularly in areas with water scarcity or in drought-prone regions. Agricultural water-retaining agents are especially beneficial for crops, seedlings, and garden plants, promoting healthier growth, improving drought resistance, and increasing overall crop yield. These products are commonly used in both conventional and organic farming practices, as well as in landscape management.
