he improvement in agricultural yield with EF Polymer results from three combined effects: improved water availability, optimized nutrition and enhanced soil structure. Together, these reduce water and nutrient stress, allowing crops to redirect energy toward plant production and significantly increase marketable yield: concrete case on tomatoes in Spain +46% yield
Nutrient sequestration: EF Polymer captures and retains soluble nutrients (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, etc.) during irrigation or rainfall.
Reduced leaching: nutrients remain available within the root zone instead of infiltrating deeper into the soil or escaping into groundwater.
Extended availability: the polymer gradually releases nutrients along with water, ensuring consistent nutrition over several months.
Synchronization with plant needs: inputs are aligned with the plant’s actual growth cycle.
Reduced waste: applied fertilizers are used more efficiently by plants, allowing initial doses to be reduced by up to 20%.
Optimized resource allocation: improved water and nutrient availability enables the plant to redirect energy toward fruit production rather than root development.
EF Polymer creates a moist, nutrient-rich, and well-aerated root environment, limiting stress factors and promoting an increase in marketable yield of up to +46% depending on the crop (e.g., tomato).
EF Polymer (Eco-Friendly Polymer) is a superabsorbent hydrogel (SAP) of organic and biodegradable origin. Its mode of action is based on three distinct physicochemical principles that explain the observed performance.
The cross-linked molecular structure of EF Polymer enables the absorption and storage of water molecules (H₂O) within its matrix, reaching up to 50 times its dry weight.
By integrating into the substrate, the polymer modifies the soil water retention curve (pF), increasing the proportion of plant-available water (PAW) and limiting losses through gravitational drainage.
Water is not permanently sequestered. The polymer acts as a buffering reservoir. As soil water potential decreases, the stored water is gradually released and made available for root uptake according to the plant’s transpiration demand.
Prolonged maintenance of favorable moisture conditions in the rhizosphere, contributing to optimized resource allocation toward plant production and a significant increase in marketable yield.
En maintenant l’humidité dans la zone racinaire, EF Polymer améliore la disponibilité des nutriments. Les besoins en fertilisation diminuent 20% sans dégrader les performances des cultures.
EF Polymer retains water close to the roots and limits losses through infiltration and evaporation. Farmers reduce their water input by * a proven 20 to 25% and up to 40%, depending on crops and soil conditions.
Unlike synthetic polymers, EF Polymer fully degrades in approximately one year, without microplastics or residues. It improves soil structure and organic matter, making it fully compatible with sustainable agriculture.
