Tailoring polymeric gels for soil reclamation and hydroponics

Abstract

Abstract Reclaimer‐ameliorator polymeric gel, RAPG, is tailored to suit all soil textures and climatic conditions. It imparts almost all the properties of arable lands to sandy soils and hydroponic substrates. The stability of conditioned sand is 4 fold that of a clay soil, and is characterised by low consumption of water, efficient‐use of fertilizers, particularly nitrogen.
