Abstract

The effect of polymer hydrogel composites (PHGC) on sandy soils holding capacity, urea leaching loss rate (ULLR) and plant growth was studied. The effect oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) microfiber on biodegradation of poly acrylic acid hydrogel was investigated. Soil holding capacity, plants growth and ULLR were positively affected by PHGC. The composite of PHG-g-OPEFB has better Biodegradation in contrast with plain PHG.
