Under the increasing severity of drought issues and the urgent need for the resourceful utilization of agricultural waste, this study aimed to compare the soil water retention properties of hydrogels prepared from Chinese cabbage waste (CW) and banana peel (BP) using grafting techniques with acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm). Free radical polymerization was initiated with ammonium persulfate (APS), and N, N′-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) served as the crosslinking agent to fabricate the grafted polymer hydrogels. The hydrogels were subjected to detailed evaluations of their water absorption, reusability, and water retention capabilities through indoor experiments. The optimal hydrogel was identified and its applicability in wheat seedling growth was assessed. The findings revealed that the CW-gel, with an equilibrium swelling ratio of 551.8 g/g in ultrapure water, demonstrated remarkable performance and sustained a high water retention of 57.6% even after drying, which was markedly superior to that of the BP-gel. The CW-gel with the best comprehensive properties significantly improved water retention in sandy soil by 78.2% and prolonged the retention time by five days, indicating its potential for long-term irrigation management. In contrast, the BP-gel showed better performance in clay soil, with an increased water-holding capacity of 43.3%. The application of a 1.5% CW-gel concentration under drought stress significantly improved wheat seedling growth, highlighting the role of hydrogels in agriculture and providing a new path for sustainable water resource management in dryland farming.
