The effect of hydrogel particle size on water retention properties and availability under water stress
The use of superabsorbent polymers or hydrogels could increase the water holding capacity (WHC) of sandy soil and reduce water loss by deep percolation. However, hydrogels' retained water availability to plants might be overestimated without taking into consideration the hydrogel particles size...
