Jal Nidhi pusa hydrogel is a water absorbent polymer used in Agriculture for water conservation, developed and patented by IARI. Jal Nidhi Pusa Hydrogel is a super absorbent which swells and retains water up to approximately 350 times of its dry weight and helps in reduction in irrigation. It is natural, non- toxic, non-hazardous and safe. ISO 9001 :2008 certified   Our Expertise : Groundnut Vegetables Paddy Growth Fruits Flower Growth Sugarcane What is Jal Nidhi Pusa Hydrogel ? : Jal Nidhi Pusa Hydrogel is a super absorbent which swells and retains water up to approximately 350 times its dry weight within its networked structure. It is 100% biodegradable in soil after one year of application. It was developed and patented by IARI-PUSA, an autonomous body under Government of India, New Delhi and is being manufactured by KCH India Private Limited. It is natural, non- toxic, non-hazardous and safe. How does it work ? : It acts like sponge and absorbs water and later releases it slowly to the crops so as to ensure sustained supply of water as and when they need it. It influences infiltration rates, density, soil structure, texture and compaction. The Hydrogel enhances germination rates and improves physical properties of the soil. It also increases the water/moisture holding capacity of the soil and reduces soil erosion. Water loss due to evaporation is significantly reduced. It also substantially reduces leaching of nutrients in the soil and increases biological/ microbial activity in the soil. Further, it increases the oxygen/air availability in the root zone and doesn’t have any effect on soil pH and most importantly reduces water and fertilizer consumption and boosts yield. When to Apply? : Best results are noted when Jal Nidhi Pusa Hydrogel is applied during sowing time. It helps in better germination and root establishment. General Recommendation : 1.5 kg per Acre Special Recommendation: For sandy soil, use up to 2.5kg per acre. Apply the Pusa Hydrogel at a depth of 6 to 8 inches of soil. For clay soil, apply at a depth of 4 inches from the soil surface, preferably at the root zone. Application Method : For Field Crops :- Prepare the field for sowing. Add 1.5 kg of the Hydrogel to 10kg of fine dry soil and mix properly. The 11.5 kg mixture (Hydrogel +Soil) should be applied along with seeds /fertilizer. For best results, the Pusa Hydrogel should be applied close to seeds. In Nursery Bed for Transplants : Apply 2 gm mix of Pusa Hydrogel in nursery bed uniformly for every sq. Meter. It should be placed at a depth of 2 inches of the nursery bed from the top. While Transplanting : Thoroughly mix 2 gms of Pusa Hydrogel in one litre of water to ensure a free flowing solution and allow it to settle for half an hour. Dip the roots of the transplanting plant in the solution and then transplant in the field. Benefits : Reduces Moisture Stress - both high and low - and delays onset of permanent wilting point. Improves Physical Structure Of the Soil. Increases water / moisture holding capacity Of the Soil, works well in all Kinds of soil and water quality. Reduces Erosion and Leaching of Nutrients in the Soil. Increases Oxygen/air Availability in the root zone. Reduces water loss through evaporation. Complementary to “drip irrigation” and is stable up to 50 deg C in the Soil. 20 to 30% Reduction in usage of Fertilizers. 30% to 50% Reduction in Irrigation activity. Increases the biological activity in the Soil.
