Arajel Soil Water Retainer

Bionic Soil Water-Retaining Polymer

Soil Support That Helps Make Better Use of Water in the Root Zone

ARAJEL is a potassium polyacrylate-based product that absorbs irrigation or rainfall water, stores it in gel form and returns part of this water to the root zone as the soil dries.

Product Identity

What Is Arajel?

When the product comes into contact with water, it swells and turns into a hydrogel structure. When applied in the root zone and completely below the soil surface, it helps water be used more effectively in the soil.

Operating Principle

Three repeating stages in the soil

ARAJEL does not replace irrigation; it supports more efficient use of supplied water in the active root zone.

01

Absorbs water

The polymer absorbs water and swells when it comes into contact with rainfall or irrigation.

02

Stores it around the roots

The gel structure helps retain water in the active root zone.

03

Recharges

As the soil dries, it releases part of the stored water; it absorbs water again with the next irrigation.

Purpose of Use

How does it support soil and irrigation management?

Water retention capacity

Helps improve the soil’s ability to retain water.

Root-zone moisture

Supports the availability of water and nutrients around the active root zone.

Soil structure

May contribute to the balance of soil porosity and aeration.

Support during dry periods

May help limit rapid moisture fluctuations around the roots.

Frequently Asked Questions About ARAJEL

It is a potassium polyacrylate-based soil water-retaining polymer that turns into a gel structure when in contact with water and supports moisture management in the root zone.
Under suitable laboratory conditions, it can store up to 600 times its own weight in water. Field performance varies depending on water quality, pH, temperature, pressure and soil structure.
Under suitable conditions, it can maintain repeated water absorption and release cycles for approximately 5 years; actual service life depends on soil, climate, irrigation and field conditions.
It should be used completely below the soil surface, close to the active root zone and mixed homogeneously with the soil. The dry product should not be piled at a single point and sufficient first irrigation should be provided.
No. ARAJEL is a complementary solution for proper irrigation, drainage, mulching, organic matter and balanced nutrition programs.
No. Plant type, root volume, soil texture, water quality, climate and application method affect the dose. The stated rates are approximate references; controlled trials should be carried out first in large areas.
It may help maintain more balanced moisture in the root zone in light and sandy soils with low water-holding capacity. In heavy and poorly drained soils, the application amount and irrigation program should be planned more carefully.
It does not replace a soil nutrition program. Because fertilizer concentration and dissolved salts in water can affect the polymer’s water absorption behavior, a small-scale trial and appropriate field evaluation are recommended before application.
The first irrigation must be sufficient for the polymer to begin working by absorbing water in the root zone. Subsequent irrigation frequency should be adjusted by monitoring actual soil moisture and plant needs.
The product should be distributed homogeneously in the growing medium, not accumulated at one point, and sufficient volume should be left for swelling. Drainage holes must not be blocked; the irrigation program should be adjusted by observing medium moisture.
