What is impact of hydrogel or biopolimer on soil properties. How much time hydrogel can hold moisture before biodegradation?
Polymer soil stabilization refers to the addition of polymers to improve physical properties of soils most often for geotechnical engineering, construction, or agricultural projects. Hydrogel networks can result in more indirect strengthening within soils by creating a scaffloding for soil particles Liquid polymers, sold as concentrated solutions, can be applied deep within the soil through......Polymer supersorbents commonly known as hydrogels are cross - linked highly molecular compounds able to absorb water from physicochemical fluids in amounts from 10 -fold to 100 -fold larger than their dry mass such as a sustained supply of nutrition tp plants for longer time, thus increasing the phosphate fertilizer use efficiency and decreasing application frequency.....The effectiveness of this process depends on the soil properties.

Thank you Dr. Antai for your valuable comments. But I need to clarify on their degradation and its effect on soil properties. Whether I can be beneficial or determinental on soil biological properties. If it is beneficial how long its effect is visible on the soil
