To evaluate the effects of hydrogel polymer levels (0, 10, 20, 30 g m-2) and NO3:NH4 ratios (0: 100, 25: 75, 50: 50, 75: 25, and 100: 0) on dill seed yield and its essential oil constituents, an experiment was conducted in October 2012 in the experimental field of Islamic Azad University, Jiroft, Iran. Results showed that using 30 g m-2 hydrogel polymer with 75NO3-: 25 NH4+ ratio produced ...

to study the effect of aquazorb super absorbent polymer (sap) on reducing drought stress of acacia victoriae seedling, a split plot experiment based on the completely randomized design was conducted. in this research, stressed treatment as the main plots and amount of superabsorbent were considered as sub plot. treatments were applied consisted of four levels of drought stress (15, 30, 60 and 1...

abstract water deficit and consecutive droughts have lead to drought stress in most parts of the world recently. we need prepare a good program to use better available water. different material can be used to increase water use efficiency. super absorbent is one of the materials used around the world. these materials absorb water in the soil so that reserved water is usable by plant in the time...

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...

BACKGROUND: Polyacrylamide is the main synthetic polymer used, and it absorbs water through the formation of hydrogen bonds. Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) can absorb water up to 200-400 times its weight and increase its size by up to 100 times. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate effect of different irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer on agrop...

The article presents an analysis of the results experimental studies effect different types a super absorbent polymer additive on strength concrete. study is aimed at effectiveness new type in concrete structures. In course full-scale experiments, it was possible to identify optimum dosage SAP for fine-grained and heavy concretes. addition, showed that remains unchanged if (SAP) 0.5% weight cem...

application of soil conditioners for remediation of saline- sodic soils is one of the common methods for improving soil properties in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the effect of soil conditioners on retention of soil moisture content, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in a saline-sodic sandy clay loam soil. the treatm...

decreasing water loss and increasing the irrigation times are basic methods to develop agriculture, success in natural recourse projects, minimize the stress to planted bushes in natural fields and increase the productivity of soil and water sources. the use of super absorbent is one of these strategies to achieve these goals. the main purpose of this research was to study the effect of super a...
