Hydrogel Agriculture: Potassium Polyacrylate based Superabsorbent Polymer

Superabsorbent Polymer based on Potassium Polyacrylate is one of the revolutionaries as well as an economical way to solve the water crises in the irrigational field. This unique formulation has not only been able to solve water-centric irrigational issues but also has immensely contributed to the upgradation of soil texture upon application. How it works? This polymer upon contact with water, swells up, behaving like mini reservoirs and imparting water-retaining property to the plant roots, ensuring uninterrupted water supply and optimal growth. These granules mix up between soil particles and upon contact with water molecules swell up forming beads owing to water-absorbent technology. These swollen potassium polyacrylate beads release water as upon required with osmotic pressure, to keep the surrounding environment moist whenever it starts drying up. Now, if these polymer granules are spread over the fields beforehand, the irrigational water can be stored and released helping i

Healthy Hatchery with Chemtex Poultry Disinfectant Chemical

  “Cleaning and disinfection have always been important for optimum hatchery performance. Effective cleaning and disinfection must prevent biofilm from establishing by removing all organic and inorganic residues, foreign bodies and micro-organisms, from surfaces” – Aline Kuntze Ferreira, Incubation Specialist, Aviagen Even the best hatcheries experience pathogenic activity as conditions in poultry sheds turn unhygienic, permitting the multiplication of illnesses, such as Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter, which have a direct effect on the health and food standards. Post mortems of first week mortalities or winnows regularly bring about separation of the above species and others from conditions, for example, omphalitis/yolk sac contamination and excited/tainted hawk joints. An efficient disinfecting program is important in every poultry bio-security program . The time of disinfection must be after de-populating/ emptying the old chickens and entry of the new ones, going by the “
