Projectdetails

Introduction

Agrobiogel is a novel soil improver that stores and slowly releases water and fertilizer. It addresses many of the pain points and challenges of modern farming, forestry, plant nurseries, and greenhouses all over the world.

Benefits

Agrobiogel offers several key benefits:

  1. Save up to 40% irrigation water.
  2. Protect plants/crops from increasing droughts and erratic rainfall patterns.
  3. Reduce agricultural input costs.
  4. Convert agricultural non-productive soils, including 100% sand soil, into agriculture productive soils.
  5. Match the urgent desire to replace expensive non-biodegradable fossil-based hydrogels with much cheaper organic hydrogels.
  6. Serve as a product of widely under-utilized lignin produced by the pulp and paper industry, helping create value for this raw material. This not only expands their product portfolio but also reduces their carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.
