| This shot shows how plant roots attach themselves to Broadleaf P4 from which they can extract stored water as needed over an extended period of time.
10 days before this photograph was taken this was a wheat seed sown into sand with polymer added at one gram (.04 ounce) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) sand (.1% w/w). |
The sand was washed away to expose the roots' strong association with the gel particles.
Close-up shows how plant roots actually grow right into and through Broadleaf P4, gaining access to 1000's of tiny reservoirs of stored water that is more than 95% plant available. |
