HOW IT WORKS
THE WATER REATAINER IN ACTION

WHAT IS THE WATER RETAINER?

The Water Retainer is an organic soil-conditioning product. Generally, its effects last 3 months, during which period – pending appropriate application of the Water Retainer – the soil’s water retainment ability is substantially increased. Applying this excellent ability in the developmental stage of our plants, the benefits in better root development and better hydration will last for the whole cultivation period. This also means substantially lower drought damages. The plants can survive twice the time in extreme drought conditions without serious damage, alleviating yield losses, while the lower stress level will show itself in better yield results. The Water Retainer also reduces changes to soil condition caused by drought, which has numerous detrimental effects. Dried out soil might turn water repellent, reducing water uptake from rainfall, which in turn increases the chance of soil panning and it turning airless, resulting in less utilizable water for our plants, causing an overall yield loss. The detrimental effects may be felt for years. Thanks to the Water Retainer, the treated soil is able to additionally trap air humidity during high moisture periods (dawn or night vapour formation). Soil with ideal water content also means long term benefits in farming. Irrigated water consumption may be reduced, since the Water Retainer reduces evaporation and stops water trickling deeper than ideal, trapping water in the top soil layer.

THE PROCESS: IN DETAIL

THE WATER RETAINER can be applied by either spraying on the surface or solved in the irrigation water, with different levels of dilution possible. In time, the Water Retainer will attach itself to both the roots of the plant and the soil grains, thus allowing water – either by rain or irrigation – entering the soil to trickle down to the water table, increasing our water reserve. The Water Retainer springs into action when vapour streams its way upwards though the capillaries, trapping vapour and transforming it into tiny droplets of water. These droplets can be drawn upon by plant roots to absorb water. Meanwhile, the product sprayed on the surface also traps air humidity. The product is hygroscopic, thus drawing water – in case of covering verdure or the plant itself, it shall be washed off by 2-2.5 mm irrigation – (barring this action, we might experience localised dehydration).

HEALTHIER PLANTS

Our studies show that steadier moisture levels benefit microorganic life in the soil, resulting in better nutrient uptake through the root system. Less imbalance in moisture levels – tending to the optimal – means more effective plant development. In this case, microorganisms in the ground provide a healthy, balanced soil life, helping more effective nutrient uptake and storage of essential elements like phosporus, et al. Our experiences show, that healthier plants exhibit increased stress resistance, promising better durability in case of extreme weather conditions.

Adapting to these changes is a high priority to maintain steady and healthy food supply. This realization was one of the driving forces for us to start our research and develop Water Retainer. This product is organic based and helps reduce the soils evaporation and regulate the soils water balance. Our test show that using Water Retainer can reduce irrigation costs by up to 50% when producing crops, vegetables and even mushrooms. Utilizing the product in fields without irrigation resulted in extended endurance of crops during drought periods and better yield.

SAVE WATER

Your plants’ water consumption will decrease by up to 50%. You can put the saved water to good use elsewhere. No more worries about dying plants while on a holiday! The Water Retainer saves up to 50% of irrigation water, either by halving water usage at every irrigation session, or increasing intervals between sessions. You may choose your preferred alternative depending on the state of your plants or weather conditions. Water is an expensive, and believe us, finite resource. Responsible water management is not only financially frugal, but serves future generations as well.

HOME & GARDEN

It’s such a great pleasure to have something green around. Growing Your own herbs or tomato on the balcony or in the backyard is great and fulfilling pastime which is even more rewarding once You start tasting what You grew.

It’s such a great pleasure to have something green around. Growing Your own herbs or tomato on the balcony or in the backyard is great and fulfilling pastime which is even more rewarding once You start tasting what You grew.

 

The same goes for flowers, beautiful and pleasant to look at them. And at the same time they might remind You how the care You gave them every day. Making the experience all the more rewarding.

Still no matter how fond we are of our plants, sometimes they seem high maintenance. That important business trip. Traveling with friends. A slightly extended vacation? All sound great. Except, who’s gonna pet Your green friends? How it can ruin even the best vacation when upon arrival the first thing greeting us is the sight of our favorite plants, dried out, dead. You will not worry of it from now.

Applying the Water Retainer soil conditioner to the soil of Your plants reduces the soil’s evaporation and contributes to a more balanced soil humidity. Thus it can increase the drought endurance of Your plants up to double or more

 

VEGETABLES, HORTICULTURE & PROFESSIONAL GARDENING

Parks are not only important meeting and recreational spaces of our cities, towns and resorts. They are also the lungs of our habitats. For them to function well they need careful maintenance.

Steady supply of nutrients, and lots of expensive water for irrigation. It is especially in the dry seasons when water is scarce.With the Water Retainer we provide an organic solution, which reduces irrigation needs and drought endurance in a revolutionary way. In our experiments we experienced irrigation needs reduced by up to 50%. And extended drought survival times in non-irrigated areas.

Moreover the Water Retainer helps maintain a steadier water balance in the soil. This increases the utilization of nutrients and keeps the soil healthier by providing a more stable environment for the helpful microorganisms that live in the ground.

AGRICULTURE

If you work in agriculture you know how important healthy soil and water balance are in providing stable yields. With shifts in our climate extreme weather conditions and events become more and more common. This threatens yields, increases risks to crops.
