What is HYDROSOL™?
A water-retention system incorporated into the soil. It stores large quantities of water and encapsulated nutrients, then releases them directly to plants according to their needs.
HYDROSOL™
Water retainer for sustainable agriculture
Global agriculture consumes nearly two thirds of the water pumped worldwide. HYDROSOL™ is an innovative solution designed to preserve and optimize this precious resource.

A - PRODUCT
HYDROSOL™: A high-technology water-retention system
Validation & global reach
Validated by the French Ministry of Agriculture and registered in many arid countries. Designed for all types of agriculture and climate conditions, including desert areas and saline soils.
Unlike conventional products, HYDROSOL™ delivers water and nutrients directly to plants — at the right time and in the right quantity.
WATER: SAVINGS OF UP TO 70%
Revolutionary water retention
When used optimally, HYDROSOL™ can save more than 70% of irrigation water.
Maximum capture
A dry-crystal polymer structure that captures and retains water up to 600 times its own volume, helping prevent infiltration and evaporation losses.
Faster germination & growth
Promotes early germination and improves growth through optimal root-system development.
Total root protection
Roots are protected from water stress and nutrient deficiencies. They are naturally attracted toward the water and nutrient reserve.
NATURAL SHIELD
A natural shield
HYDROSOL™'s membrane acts as a shield against salt. It enables planting in saline soils and with brackish water by activating root growth independently of soil quality.
ENVIRONMENT: PH AND LIFESPAN
An eco-responsible product
Neutral pH, fully biodegradable, active for an average of 5 years. Encapsulated nutrients do not migrate outside the polymer: no groundwater pollution, while supporting soil remediation and rehabilitation.
BENEFITS
The benefits of HYDROSOL™
Water savings
Very significant reduction in water consumption (>70%)
Optimized nutrients
No use of additional nutrients beyond those already incorporated into HYDROSOL™
Water protection
Nutrients are retained and no longer pollute groundwater
Higher yields
Larger and longer roots that deliver higher yields
Elimination of water stress
A major cause of plant mortality, completely eliminated.
Equipment savings
Lower irrigation, machinery, labor and electricity costs.
Any water source can be used
Fresh, saline or brackish water: HYDROSOL™ adapts to every source.
Easier transport
Supports plant development in all arid countries.
Fewer losses
Limits leaching, reduces evaporation and improves aeration in compact soils.
Optimized growth
Water and nutrients remain continuously available in the root zone.
Environmental protection
Helps fight drought and groundwater pollution.
COMPOSITION
HYDROSOL™ composition
HYDROSOL™ comes from a range of super-absorbent anionic polyacrylamides. These are cross-linked copolymers of acrylamide and potassium acrylate that are insoluble in water. HYDROSOL™ can absorb up to 600 times its weight in water and transform into a gel.
Crystalline form
Granules from 1 to 4 mm in diameter. Absorbs up to 600 times its weight in water and transforms into a gel.
Encapsulated nutrients
Balanced N.P.K. + trace elements (Bo, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn) incorporated according to each crop's agronomic needs.
Neutral pH
pH from 6.5 to 7. Compatible with all soil and crop types.
Biodegradable
Naturally degrades in soil (10-15% per year) into non-toxic molecules under the action of UV rays and microorganisms.
Targeted retention & release
Retains water and fertilizers, then slowly releases them to roots according to their needs, without excess or loss.
Root development
Promotes root hair development through its accordion effect. Hydrosol continuously swells and retracts.
IMPROVED ENERGY FOR PLANT LIFE
HYDROSOL™: Growing medium with a water reserve
Transparent 1 to 4 mm crystals integrating N, P, K and trace elements.
High retention capacity
300 to 600 times its weight in water, depending on soil type and water hardness.
Targeted availability
Only the quantities of nutrients needed for growth are released — with no leakage or loss.
Accordion effect
Hydrosol swells and retracts in a continuous cycle (irrigation, rain, dew...), aerating soil and oxygenating roots.
3-to-7-year longevity
Hydrosol retains its nutritional properties and regenerates over 3, 5 or 7 years before complete, non-toxic biodegradation.
Permanent source
Constant supply of water and nutrients at root level. Reduces summer mortality of young trees by 40%.
EASY TO USE
HYDROSOL™: Simple and accessible use
Standard incorporation
HYDROSOL™ is incorporated into the soil using standard tools, either manually or mechanically.
Essential rule
Never place HYDROSOL™ on the surface — it must always be buried in the soil to be effective.
Immediate result
From the first contact with moisture, Hydrosol activates and begins retaining water and nutrients.
B - METHOD
How does HYDROSOL™ work?
Through a physical and technical action, HYDROSOL™ mechanically attracts plant roots into this permanent reserve of nutrients and water.
Hydrosol is made of molecular chains that are parallel to one another and regularly connected by cross-linking agents, forming a network. When water comes into contact with one of these chains, it is drawn into the molecule by osmosis. The water then quickly moves inside the network, where it is stored.
Soil transformation
Mixed into the soil, HYDROSOL™ transforms poor soils into arable land within 3 to 4 years.
Biodegradable & non-toxic
Fully harmonious with soil and the environment.
Buffer effect on fertilizers
Reduces leaching of nutrients stored in the network. Delayed release means the wilting point is pushed back.
Increased water retention
Increases the retention capacity of all sandy soils. Delays the wilting point.
C - APPLICATIONS
HYDROSOL™ applications
HYDROSOL™ ensures stronger qualitative and quantitative plant growth, even in highly permeable soils.
Arboriculture
Effective for planting trees, bushes and young shoots. Reduces mortality caused by transplant shock and promotes fast root development.
Large-scale agriculture
Optimizes germination and the root network. Captures dew, air humidity, rainwater and irrigation water. Delays the wilting point for better-established crops.
C - APPLICATIONS (CONTINUED)
Lawns, turf & landscaping
Lawns & turf
Ensures early germination and fast, regular root development. Ideal for golf courses, parks and gardens. Turf rooting is accelerated.
Root protection
Root soaking helps prevent drying out during transplantation or long-distance transport. Vaccines and soluble curative elements can be added.
Optimized soils
Watering frequency reduced by 50 to 70%. Cuttings and grafts take root more effectively. An ideal solution for containers, hanging plants and indoor plants.
D: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
HYDROSOL™ environmental impact
Natural biodegradation
Hydrosol is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, which break down bonds and degrade it into fine particles.
Zero toxicity
HYDROSOL™ has no systemic toxicity. It is manufactured according to EU, OECD and REACH standards.
Official certifications
Approved and certified by the French Ministry of Agriculture.
E - TAILOR-MADE SOLUTION
HYDROSOL™: A tailor-made product
HYDROSOL™ is manufactured to order to meet the specific requirements of each crop — horticulture, agriculture, nurseries, reforestation and landscaping.
Balanced nutrients
A balanced and soluble nutrient solution, or a defined rate of N, P or K (nitrogen / phosphate / potassium).
Trace elements
Trace elements (copper / iron / zinc / boron / magnesium, etc.) incorporated in the desired quantities.
Anti-salt agents
Anti-salt agents can be added to increase the polymer's natural capacity to repel salt.
Curative elements
Any vaccine or curative element that can be stored in HYDROSOL™.
Every HYDROSOL™ formulation is a precise response to the soil, climate and agronomic needs of your crops.
