How EF Polymer Works

Creating a natural reservoir of water and nutrients in the root zone.

The Challenge

Water Scarcity is Increasing

Water scarcity, climate variability and rising irrigation costs are placing increasing pressure on agricultural production.

Improving water and nutrient efficiency has become essential for maintaining productivity and sustainability.

Crop suffering from drought and water scarcity, highlighting the need for improved water efficiency in agriculture.

EF Polymer absorbs water and dissolved nutrients during irrigation or rainfall, creating a reservoir around the roots.

As the soil dries, moisture and nutrients are gradually released back to the plant when required.

Four Step Process

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

Absorbs

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

Stores

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

Releases

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

Degrades Naturally

Root system development supported by EF Polymer maintaining moisture in the root zone and improving water and nutrient uptake.

Working in the Root Zone

Supporting Root Development

By maintaining moisture close to the root system, EF Polymer promotes stronger root development and improves the efficiency of water and nutrient uptake.

Water and Nutrient Efficiency

EF Polymer improving soil moisture retention and irrigation efficiency.

Water Efficient

EF Polymer helping retain nutrients and reduce leaching losses in the root zone.

Nutrient Efficient
