AI Technical Summary
Red soil has poor structure, is prone to compaction, and suffers from severe nutrient loss. Existing soil conditioners have low mechanical strength, limited functions, and poor environmental adaptability, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve water retention and slow fertilizer release.
A dual-network hydrogel is used, which combines ionic and covalent cross-linking networks, and incorporates quaternized chitosan and hydrophilic macromolecules to construct a multi-level porous microstructure building agent for red soil, thereby enhancing the soil's water and fertilizer retention capacity.
It significantly improves soil aggregate stability, reduces soil bulk density, increases capillary porosity, improves soil structure, and enhances crop yield. It is low-cost and highly adaptable to the environment.
