-30% water, -40% pumping cycles, +16.5% yield in field tests.
2–4 kg/rai, mixed with fertilizer at planting.
2–3 kg/rai applied with ridging at 1:10–15 mix ratio.
1–2 kg/rai blended with seed or base fertilizer.
30–50 g per transplant — scale by canopy size as trees grow.
30–50 g per pot, mixed into the soil before first watering.
Use the table as a starting point. For a precise mix, share your soil profile with our team.
| Crop | Rate | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Rice | 1–1.5 kg / rai (≈ 6.3–9.4 kg / ha) | Mix with dry soil and organic fertilizer at 1:10–15, or broadcast after puddling for paddy rice. |
| Sugarcane | 2–4 kg / rai (≈ 12.5–25 kg / ha) | Mix with fertilizer or soil conditioner. Apply at planting alongside the row. |
| Cassava | 2–3 kg / rai (≈ 12.5–18.75 kg / ha) | Mix with fertilizer 1:10–15. Apply with ridge formation, then cover. |
| Corn / Maize | 1–2 kg / rai (≈ 6.3–12.5 kg / ha) | Mix into seed dressing or base fertilizer at planting. |
| Orchard — transplant | 30–50 g / tree | Place in the planting hole below the root ball. |
| Orchard — mature tree | Canopy diameter × 200–300 g | Apply around the dripline; lightly incorporate into the soil. |
| Potted plants | 30–50 g / pot | Mix into the potting soil before the first watering. |
Note: 1 rai ≈ 0.16 hectare. Do not broadcast SAP on the soil surface — except for paddy rice.
SAP also performs in transplanting, forestry, and landscaping. Rates depend on site — talk to our team for a tailored mix.
| Segment | Use case | Application method |
|---|---|---|
| Transplanting & forestry | Root dip for saplings during transplant; forestry projects | Mix into water as a slurry; dip the root ball before planting. Prevents transplant shock and root drying. |
| Landscaping & turf | Golf courses, arid urban landscaping, lawns | Incorporate into the soil profile or aerated turf. Reduces irrigation frequency and maintenance cost. |

The answers most farmers and agronomists ask before placing a first order.
It stays effective for 2–3 years per application (depending on soil type). After that, it breaks down naturally into CO₂, water, and nitrogen — leaving no microplastic, no chemical residue, no long-term build-up in your soil.
No. Industrial absorbents accumulate salt in soil and aren't plant-friendly. Our formulation is engineered for agriculture: the moisture it releases is usable by the plant, and nothing harmful stays behind.
In our rice paddy field tests we observed roughly 30% less water usage and 40% fewer pump cycles, while lifting yield by 16.5%. Results vary by soil type and climate.
Yes — that's precisely where SAP shines. 80% of Thai farmland is rain-fed. SAP turns one rainfall into multiple weeks of usable moisture in the root zone.
It will likely reduce it. SAP absorbs both positive and negative fertilizer ions and releases them slowly with water — cutting leaching losses by 15–30%. Many growers cut their fertilizer use after the first season.
Yes. The hydrogel captures sodium (Na⁺) from groundwater and brackish water before it reaches the roots, easing salt stress on salt-sensitive crops.
No. Under Thai law, SAP is not classified as a fertilizer, a hazardous agricultural substance, or a pesticide. It's a soil moisture retainer — which simplifies import, storage, and on-farm handling.
