About this document

Biopolymer Hydrogels in Agriculture by lucas.prado is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This chapter discusses biopolymer-based hydrogels and their applications in agriculture, particularly focusing on their swelling behavior and the slow release of agrochemicals. It highlights the advantages of biodegradable hydrogels made from materials like chitosan and cellulose over conventional polyacrylamide-based hydrogels, which pose environmental risks. The synthesis methods and mechanisms for creating these hydrogels are also explored, emphasizing their potential to improve water retention and effic
