Claims20
A superabsorbent polymer applicator for administering a superabsorbent polymer in agricultural applications, comprising:
- a dispensing container;
- and
- a superabsorbent polymer hydrogel disposed within the dispensing container;
- wherein the dispensing container is configured to deliver the superabsorbent polymer hydrogel locally to a desired agricultural application when initiated by a user.
A superabsorbent polymer applicator for administering a superabsorbent polymer in agricultural applications, comprising:
- a dispensing container having an elongate neck portion;
- and
- a superabsorbent polymer hydrogel disposed within the dispensing container;
- wherein the superabsorbent polymer hydrogel passes through the elongate neck portion when the superabsorbent hydrogel is delivered to a particular agricultural application.
A superabsorbent polymer applicator for administering a superabsorbent polymer in agricultural applications, comprising:
- superabsorbent means for absorbing aqueous fluid, the superabsorbent means capable of absorbing more than 10 times its weight of aqueous fluid;
- and
- means for containing and dispensing the superabsorbent means to an actual or anticipated location of a root system of a plant, plant cutting, seed or seedling.
A method for delivering a superabsorbent polymer in agricultural applications, comprising:
- obtaining a superabsorbent polymer hydrogel disposed within a dispensing container, the container having an insertable portion to insert into plant-growing media;
- inserting the insertable portion of the dispensing container into the plant-growing media;
- and
- dispensing the superabsorbent polymer hydrogel into the plant-growing media through the insertable portion.
