Currently, hydrogels are the most promising materials in polymer and materials science. Due to their soft and tissue-like properties and high water content, hydrogels have a wide range of applications, such as in tissue engineering and wound dressings. Agricultural hydrogels are characterized by excellent stability, high transparency, and low cost, and can be used as plant cultivation substrates.

Benefits of Using as Plant Cultivation Substrates

As a hydrophilic substrate with high water content, agricultural hydrogels have unique quasi-solid properties that can directly provide water, air, and nutrients to plants. Moreover, this hydrogel is easy to produce and modify, affordable, thermally stable, and biodegradable. Therefore, it can be a good plant cultivation substrate. Additionally, hydrogels exhibit unparalleled advantages, especially when compared to traditional soil and soilless substrates.
