Saline-alkali soils make crops struggle: high salts cause osmotic stress, poor structure blocks roots, and water either runs off or waterlogs. Orchards need soils that drain yet hold moisture; vegetables need stable aeration and water in larger fields. Compaction and crusting worsen infiltration, leading to dry spots, shallow roots, and wasted fertilizers. Growers need amendments that lower salinity, rebuild soil aggregation, and balance water and air so roots can access steady moisture and nutrients. SATSORB™ is designed to solve these problems and support resilient yields.
In May 2022, the drought situation in the western state of Nevada was getting worse. The roadside trees in Las Vegas, which is the largest city in the state, even became dry and yellow. Meanwhile the city launched water-saving actions. SOCO® Soil Hydrogel was the key to save water & fight drought there back then. While ensuring that trees became green again. It can be seen from the photos that the clients sent back to us, the application of SOCO® Soil Hydrogel had significantly enhanced the drought resistance of trees.
It acts as a soil moisture manager in hydroseeding and slope revegetation: stabilizes newly graded soils, maintains surface moisture, reduces mulch usage, prevents mulch hardpan, and helps rapid, uniform seed sprouting—even in dry areas.
By holding water near the seed and root zone and releasing it as the substrate dries. This keeps the slurry moist longer, speeds germination, and supports even coverage so there are no dry, bare patches.
Yes. Because the polymer retains moisture and prevents crusting, you can often reduce cellulose mulch rates while maintaining coverage and performance.
Hardpan is the crust that can form when cellulose mulch dries and compacts, blocking infiltration and emergence. The hydrogel keeps the matrix flexible and moist, preventing crusting and improving infiltration and seedling emergence.
Hydroseeding on slopes, road embankments, landfills, mining reclamation, construction sites, and any revegetation area that needs quick, uniform cover.
Yes. By minimizing surface evaporation and improving water availability, it supports sprouting and early growth under dry, high-evaporation.
