Of organic origin, it integrates into the soil without persistent pollution, contributes to humus formation and complies with sustainable agricultural practices.
EF Polymer retains water close to the roots and limits losses through infiltration and evaporation. Farmers reduce their water input by a *proven 20–25% and up to 40%, depending on crops and soil conditions.
By maintaining moisture in the root zone, EF Polymer improves nutrient availability. Fertilizer requirements are reduced by 20% without compromising crop performance.
The use of the polymer optimizes water resource allocation, enabling the plant to redirect energy toward fruit production rather than root development, resulting in significant gains (e.g., for tomatoes: +46% marketable yield).
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.
The cross-linked molecular structure of EF Polymer creates osmotic pressure that attracts and traps water molecules (H₂O) within its matrix, swelling up to 50 times its dry weight.
By integrating into the substrate, the polymer modifies the soil water retention curve (pF). It converts gravitational water (normally lost) into Plant Available Water (PAW).
Water is not permanently sequestered. The polymer acts as a buffer reservoir. When the plant’s water potential decreases (transpirational demand), root suction becomes stronger than the polymer’s retention force, releasing water on demand.
EF Polymer revitalizes soils by stabilizing moisture around the roots and reducing repeated water stress that degrades soil life. More consistent conditions promote biological activity (microflora, soil fauna) and support the balances related to soil organic matter (SOM/SOC).
Through its water absorption and release cycle, the polymer also contributes to a more favorable structure in the rhizosphere: improved porosity, aeration and reduced local compaction.
Result: a more resilient, functional soil that is better suited to crop performance
EF Polymer is being tested under real farming conditions using conventional methods and/or monitoring systems across various crops representative of Moroccan agricultural systems (vegetable crops, orchards, cereals, argan farming).
Initial results will confirm the expected benefits in water savings, fertilizer reduction and improved plant vigor.
These trials are led by institutional and scientific stakeholders for the benefit of farmers and cooperatives, with the purpose of validating usage protocols and adapting them to local constraints.
EF Polymer integrates naturally into existing practices: it can be mixed with water or applied directly along the planting line, without any additional equipment or investment.
Application protocols are simple, repeatable and adapted to each crop type, either manually or through mechanization.
