Title : Effect of moisture level on growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under green hydrogel (Cladophora glomerata and Spirogyra sp.)
Abstract:
A method has been devised to use polymer hydrogels to retain moisture in soil and support plant growth under challenging environmental circumstances. Polymer hydrogels are used to moisturize soil. The polymer chains in these hydrogels are hydrophilic, meaning they have an affinity for water, and may retain water inside their structure. Polymer hydrogels have been widely utilized to enhance the water accessibility of plants by augmenting the water retention capacity of soils and substrates. The implementation of hydrogel polymers could be a suitable method to enhance the effectiveness of water and fertilizer utilization. The study effectively prepared a nanocomposite hydrogel with a consistent cross-linked structure, supplied from multiple materials, for the purpose of retaining soil moisture as polymer hydrogels. The hydrogel that was synthesized underwent characterization using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (Ftir), Scanning electron microscope (Sem), and X-ray diffraction (Xrd). The nano hydrogel, made from Cladophora glomerata and Spirogyra sp. is a potent ion for promoting plant development. It undergoes full swelling within around 14 days. Furthermore, the analysis of different levels of Soil Moisture (50, 70, 80%) in conjunction with varying concentrations of nano Hydrogel (0, 0.3, and 0.6%) reveals that the combination of 80% moisture and 0.6% hydrogel concentration provides the optimal conditions for the growth of Oryza sativa L. plants. These characteristics indicate that the nano hydrogel has the potential to function as a superabsorbent polymer (Sap) in soil.
Audience Takeaway:
