Research of agrochemical and mechanical properties of soils processed with hydrogel

Abstract

Abstract The results of many years of research on the effect of polymer hydrogels for agriculture on soil structure were presented. By sampling soils at various depths, the biological changes of microorganisms that occur under the influence of hydrogels were studied. It was shown that the use of hydrogels leads to an improvement in the basic physicochemical properties of non-irrigated agricultural lands and an increase in soil fertility. The use of hydrogel absorbent on typical non-irrigated lands allowed increasing soil moisture and improving its properties.
