Hydrogel merupakan kristal polimer yang biasa digunakan sebagai media tanam bagi tanaman hidroponik. Penggunaan media tanam jenis ini sangat mudah dan efesien karena tidak perlu untuk mengganti, menyiram atau memupuk. Biasanya, hydrogel digunakan untuk menanam tanaman hias didalam ruangan, karena memiliki berbagai warna dan berbentuk.
crosslinked hydrogels.11 In addition, low, high, and super-absorbent hydrogels have different absorption rates. Further, hydrogels can be classified as micro-, macro-, or ultra-porous depending on the material’s origin, gel formation mechanism, side group functionalities,12 physicochemical properties, and biodegradability.13,14 HydrogelsHydrogel is being broadly studied due to their tremendous properties, such as swelling behavior and biocompatibility. Numerous review articles have discussed hydrogel polymer types, hydrogel synthesis methods, hydrogel properties, and hydrogel applications. Hydrogel can be synthesized by physical and chemical cross-linking methods.
Hydrogels are hydrophilic, three-dimensional networks that are able to absorb large quantities of water or biological fluids, and thus have the potential to be used as prime candidates for biosensors, drug delivery vectors, and carriers or matrices for cells in tissue engineering. In this critical review article, advantages of the hydrogelsDan Miller discusses the possibility of using hydrogels in agriculture. With a non-toxic formulation, they work by capturing water and fertilizer near the ro u3RPazh.
