increasing the efficiency of water use is one of the main topics of sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid. the use of some materials such as superabsorbent polymers increase water storage in the soil and thus reduces the water use. increase water storage in the soil to reduce the effects of drought and saline soil. in order to evaluate the effect of super absorbent polymer on survival a...

to study the effects of two irrigation regimes and application of barley residue, zeolite and superabsorbent polymer on forage yield and some physiological traits of maize and sorghum, an experiment was conducted over two years in kerman, iran. a randomized complete block design arranged in a factorial split was used with three replications. two irrigation regimes of normal irrigation and water...

In this work, a novel superabsorbent hydrogel composite based on collagen have been prepared via graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) in the presence of kaolin powder by using methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent and ammonium persulphate (APS) as an initiator. A proposed mechanism for hydrogel formation was suggested and the structure of the composite was established...

A simple two-steps polymerization method was used to prepare a polyacrylamide hydrogel with a full interpenetrating network structure based on the sorption and porous properties of polyacrylamide superabsorbent. In conditions of 10 g acrylamide monomer, 0.04 g crosslinker for the first polymerization and the second polymerization, respectively, and the swelling ratio of 9, the hydrogel possesse...

In this research, to evaluate the effect of superabsorbent polymer and drought stress on the number and leaf area of Lettuce, experimental  research was conducted in a completely randomized design factorial with two treatments of irrigation regime at three levels (60, 80 and 100 percent of crop water requirement) and four superabsorbent hydrogel application (0, 4, 6 and 8 g per kg of soil) in t...

Sorghum is among the most important forages used in arid and semi-arid regions of south-eastern Iran. Application of some materials such as super absorbent polymer (SAP) in soil can increase soil water storage capacity and increase water use efficiency. The aim of the study was to estimate the relative membrane permeability of sorghum under irrigation regimes and superabsorbent polymer applicat...
