Radiation-assisted tailoring of swelling behavior and water retention of Na-CMC/PAAm hydrogels for enhancing Beta Vulgaris under drought stress

Abstract This study investigates the negative impact of climate change on water resources, specifically water for agricultural irrigation. It describes how to optimize swelling, gel properties and long-term water retention capacities of Na-CMC/PAAm hydrogels for managing drought stress of Sugar beet...
