Drip Irrigation in a Granule

Natural water-retention technology for more resilient agriculture

EF Polymer retains water and nutrients around the root zone, helping crops withstand drought and irrigation stress.

Agriculture Faces Increasing Water Stress

Irrigated crop field demonstrating the need for improved water management and water-use efficiency in agriculture.

Changing weather patterns, rising irrigation costs and increasing pressure on water resources are making efficient water management more important than ever.

Growers need practical solutions that help maintain crop performance while using water more effectively.

Whether producing vegetables, potatoes, onions or field crops, improving water and nutrient efficiency is becoming a key part of sustainable agriculture.

Introducing EF Polymer

Drip Irrigation in a Granule

EF Polymer is a naturally derived superabsorbent polymer produced from upcycled fruit residues.

Once incorporated into the soil, it absorbs water and nutrients and gradually releases them back into the root zone when the plant requires them.

By creating a reservoir of moisture around the roots, EF Polymer helps crops withstand dry periods and improve the efficiency of irrigation and fertiliser programmes.

EF Polymer natural biodegradable hydrogel granules produced from fruit waste for improving water efficiency and crop resilience in agriculture.

How EF Polymer Works

A natural reservoir of water and nutrients around the roots

EF Polymer granules absorbing water and nutrients during rainfall or irrigation.

Absorbs

Captures water and nutrients during rainfall or irrigation

EF Polymer storing moisture and nutrients around the root zone for later plant uptake.

Stores

Retains moisture around the root zone for later use

EF Polymer gradually releasing water and nutrients to support crop growth during periods of demand.

Releases

Supplies water and nutrients when the plant needs them

EF Polymer naturally biodegrading in soil without leaving harmful residues or microplastics.

Degrades Naturally

Naturally biodegrades with no harmful residues in soil
