An Overview of Polymeric Hydrogel Applications for Sustainable Agriculture

Priscila Vedovello,
Lívia Valentim Sanches,
Gabriel da Silva Teodoro
et al.

Abstract: Agriculture, a vital element of human survival, confronts challenges of meeting rising demand due to population growth and product availability in developing nations. Reliance on pesticides and fertilizers strains natural resources, leading to soil degradation and water scarcity. Addressing these issues necessitates enhancing water efficiency in agriculture. Polymeric hydrogels, with their unique water retention and nutrient-release capabilities, offer promising solutions. These superabsorbent materials form t… Show more

“…The method of free radical polymerization in which monomers with initiators are suspended in water in the form of droplets is called suspension polymerization. 79 In inverse suspension polymerization, watersoluble monomers and initiators are uniformly dispersed in the oil phase in the form of small droplets. 80 In this way, the polymerization process is stable, and the product is a granular hydrogel.…”
