Hydroplan-EB launches biodegradable polymer HYB PLUS in Brazil

Date:08-01-2024

Hydroplan-EB has announced the launch of the biodegradable polymer HYB PLUS in Brazil, which acts as a permanent soil conditioner. 

According to the manufacturer, the product contains additives that promote rooting and better "setting" in planting and transplanting activities. Based on this property, Hydroplan-EB states that it improves the initial development of plants and reduces the need for replanting activities. The benefits, they point out, include increased levels of nitrogen, organic carbon, and enzymes that reduce physiological stress caused by transplanting.

Francisco Carvalho, Commercial Director of Hydroplan-EB, explained that a suitable polymer provides a chain of amino acids and top-tier organic acids. This condition is necessary for the plant to develop rapidly and vigorously, stimulating its rooting and growth of meristems. 

″It is worth adding the presence of strategic minerals in the formulation as a final property,″ he emphasized. This compound acts as a permanent soil conditioner, providing better water and nutrient retention that will later be released to the plant, improving the environment in the rhizosphere zone.

According to Francisco Carvalho, integrating advanced technologies and nutritional additives in polymers offers significant potential to optimize agricultural processes. 

″Products like HYB PLUS, which combine water and nutrient retention properties with plant growth stimulation, exemplify how innovation can transform agriculture,″ he highlights. 

He stated that this combination of sustainability and efficiency ″not only improves productivity but also contributes to the preservation of agricultural systems in the face of climate change.″

According to recent research from the platform Exactitude Consultancy, the global biodegradable polymers market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4% from 2020 to 2029.

The data projects that the niche will accumulate over USD 23.6 billion by 2029. In Brazil, this expansion scenario is already a reality, as many agricultural sector brands aim to develop their polymers to preserve the ecosystem.

Francisco Carvalho pointed out that it is vital to be concerned not only with the development of these formulas but also with the impact their use will cause. ″We have additives that even provide less evaporation of the water in the soil or are used in rescue irrigation. In this way, we ensure the region’s preservation without impacting its water and natural balance,″ he said in conclusion.
