A hydrophilic super absorbent polymer that holds 300–400× its weight in water and releases it as the soil dries. It keeps crops productive through the dry spells of rainfed farming.

01
Absorb
Granules absorb rain, irrigation, or groundwater on contact — swelling 300–400× into a hydrated gel.
02
Store
Water and fertilizer ions, both cations and anions, are held in the root zone instead of leaching below it.
03
Release
As soil tension rises, roots draw moisture and nutrients back slowly — before the crop reaches wilting point.

In line with peer work on hydrogel-treated rice published by IIRR.
About 2–3 years at normal soil temperature (25–38°C). It then biodegrades to CO₂, NH₃ and H₂O with no residue.
On-farm paddy trials on sandy soil recorded 30% lower water use and 40% fewer irrigation cycles.
No. Under Thai law it is not a fertilizer, pesticide or hazardous substance.
Yes. Ex-works Kanchanaburi, USD invoicing, with country exclusivity for qualified distributors.
