Transforming sand into arable substrate using biobased microgels to improve land productivity

Crop cultivation in coarse sand poses challenges due to its poor water-holding capacity, and as a consequence, such substrate is poor in holding nutrients necessary to support crop growth. The use of swellable microgel as a soil conditioner can enhance the hydraulic properties of sand, which may lea...
