Effects of a novel poly (AA-co-AAm)/AlZnFe2O4/potassium humate superabsorbent hydrogel nanocomposite on water retention of sandy loam soil and wheat seedling growth

A novel poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)AlZnFe2O4/potassium humate superabsorbent hydrogel nanocomposite (PHNC) was synthesized and its physical properties characterized using SEM, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. Air dried sandy loam soil was amended with 0.1 to 0.4...
