Description
A strip made of hydrogel that enhances the soil, supplies it with nutrients, and can be individually adapted to the specific conditions of the soil. It is based on a polymer structure made of hydrogel, which can store and release large amounts of water and nutrients in a controlled manner.
By analysing a soil sample beforehand, the parameters of the strip can be precisely defined to ensure optimal soil supply. The special structure of the strip promotes interaction with the dried-out and nutrient-poor soil, microorganisms, and plants, helping to regulate moisture levels, introduce nutrients, and stimulate microorganisms as well as plant growth.
The hydro strip is ideal for agricultural use in a circular system that can be adapted from sowing to harvest.
