Product overviewHydroBoost is a lignin-based, biological water-retaining biohydrogel formulated as an organic soil conditioner. Designed for agricultural, horticultural and landscaping applications, it stores water and progressively releases moisture to the root zone, reducing irrigation frequency and improving water availability for plants.
Key benefits- 100% organic soil conditioner (lignin-based), free from synthetic additives
- Up to ~40% reduction in watering requirements depending on usage and conditions
- Hydrogel absorbs and stores 10–15× its dry volume in water and gradually returns moisture to the soil
- Long-lasting activity in soil for up to 5 years before biodegradation
- Improves soil structure and increases plant-available water for healthier, more resilient growth
Suitable for / Areas of application- Raised beds, planting beds, pots and planters
- Perennials, shrubs and trees
- Vegetable production, nursery and container production, hobby and commercial gardening
- Garden and landscape design, cemetery plantings
- Forestry, reclamation and large-scale landscaping projects to improve soil quality
Dosage & application methods- Surface treatment (beds, raised beds): 250 g to 400 g per m²
- New plantings (shrubs, perennials, flowers, vegetables, herbs): 20 g to 40 g per L of planting substrate
- Large planting holes / trees (example trunk Ø 14/16 cm): approx. 3 kg per hole (guideline)
- Injection technique: 200–400 g pure product per injection (example for trees)
- Mixing (root protection example): mix 0.5–0.7 kg with 10 L water; wait 10–15 minutes, stir occasionally to allow absorption
- Example: 400 g treats 15–20 L of substrate and can store up to ≈6 L of water
- For some injection applications: 1:5 mixture with Terramol (site- and situation-dependent)
Usage notesHydroBoost is suitable for annual and perennial plants across all soil types and climatic conditions. Use as a biological water reservoir and soil conditioner to improve water availability and soil quality. Adjust dosages based on plant type, soil texture and local climate.
