Abstract
Abstract Water absorbency of 4 commercially available hydrophylic polymers (hydrogels) (Agrosoke, Liqua-gel, Mizuace and Terra-sorb HB) in response to 4 media amendments (Micromax, Osmocote 18N-2.6P-10.0K (18-6-12), gypsum and dolomitic limestone) and the combination of 4 amendments was determined. Water absorbency of 4 hydrogels was reduced by all amendments except Osmocote added to Liqua-gel. Generally, hydrogel absorbency was reduced most by Micromax and the combination of media amendments, followed by gypsum, Osmocote, and dolomitic limestone. None of the hydrogels functioned as advertised.
