In dryland agriculture, Superabsorbent Polymers (SAPs) are popular. However, the mechanical property, repetitive soil water absorption and release, regularly affects the water retention and hydraulic parameters of the soil, and since this property decreases progressively over time, the results of the property appear to be unpredictable. Polymers use to in agriculture field.
