  • Are superabsorbent polymers useful in agriculture?
  • Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) have been widely used and are attracting increasing attention in agricultural field because they dramatically enhance water use efficiency. In this review, representative achievements in the design and modification of SAPs with specific functions are highlighted, as well as their applications in agriculture.
  • Can superabsorbent polymers reduce drought stress in cultivated crops?
  • The development of agronomic strategies enabling the reduction in drought stress in cultivated crops is, therefore, a crucial priority. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can be used as an amendment for soil health improvement, ultimately improving water holding capacity and plant available water.
  • What are superabsorbent polymers (saps)?
  • Due to super high water absorption and water retention capacity, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can be applied to effectively ameliorate utilization of water in agriculture, such as retaining moisture in the soil and reducing the irrigation water consumption [ 2, 3 ].
  • Can superabsorbent polymers reduce soil compaction?
  • Overall, SAPs need to be examined in the field over longer periods, as well as how soil mechanical properties are changed. Superabsorbent polymers have primarily been used to improve and prolong soil water holding capacity and increase time between irrigation events. There has been positive results for SAPs’ ability to reduce compaction.
