It is not an excellent choice for agriculture application and PAM is much more better with several times of higher absoption

Reena Singhal

Thanks PAM is not biodegradable ,while cellulose based hydrogels can be biodegradable.

PAM is biocampatible but not biodegdarable

Swelling ratio (q) of any specific gel is not steady, its a relative issue. q varies based on the composition and shape and size of the considering gel. One idea would be - If you incorporate electrolytes (polymer and/or oligomer) or someway fixed charges within the hydrogel matrix, the extent of swelling will definitely increase.
