Q. What is SAP?

A. SAP is a patented soil amendment that improves plant yield and plant quality across a wide spectrum of agricultural, forestry, turf, ornamental and home and garden applications through improved water utilization.

Q. How does SAP work?

A. SAP particles store and release up to 200-400 times their weight in water, hydrating and rehydrated with each irrigation or rain event. Applied as a root dip or dry granule near roots, SAP helps keep plants hydrated all season long by prolonging the benefits of water events.

Q. Why use SAP?

A. SAP improves seed germination rates, promotes fast and uniform emergence, improves stand establishment and ultimately improves yield and quality. SAP also helps plants avoid stress caused by heat spikes and drought by optimizing a plant's use of available water.Meanwhile SAP contain many of Nutrients elements like Potassium, manganese, zinc, iron, phosphorus and so on.

Q. How long does SAP remain active in soil?

A. SAP stays active 3-5 years, depending on the microorganisms present in a particular soil. We recommend a new application with each planting to ensure optimum efficacy. Over time, SAP will settle in soil and deepen the active zone.

Q. Will SAP work for me?

A. SAP has been shown to increase yields and quality in every plant variety tested, in a wide range of soil types, and in a wide spectrum of climatic conditions.

Q. Do I need to reapply SAP if I replant due to adverse weather conditions or other seasonal challenges?

A. Since replanting disturbs soil in the seedbed, SAP should be applied each time a crop is replanted. This keeps SAP close to seeds.

Q. Is SAP suitable for all soil types?

A. SAP has proven beneficial for plant health in sandy soils and clay soils. In sandy soils, SAP prevents water from sifting through the root zones, holding water where it's needed. In clay soils, the expanding and contracting action of SAP particles can increase aeration, boosting oxygen levels in the soil and increasing water percolation.

Q. Can I mix SAP with fertilizer?

A. Yes. By combining SAP and nutrients, you provide plants anoptimum opportunity to deliver premium yields and quality.

Q. Does SAP benefit transplants?

A. Yes. When SAP is applied as a liquid slurry in transplant water, plants are shown to have a better survival rate, greater root and biomass development and improved yields and quality.

Q. Does SAP improve uniformity across fields?

A. Yes. By better utilizing available water, SAP helps remove stress associated with heat spikes. This helps create healthy, uniform plant development across fields.

Q. Will I always notice a difference in plant development when using SAP?

A. During most growing seasons, crops treated with SAP will show a definitive advantage over untreated crops in seedling emergence, plant development and overall yields and quality. However, when environmental conditions are ideal for plant development, SAP treated crops may not be markedly different than untreated crops.

Q. Is SAP safe for all food crops?

A. Because SAP is a starch-based formulation it is safe for use on all crops, including food crops. SAP is non-toxic, biodegradable and contains no synthetic additives.

Q. Does SAP change the amount of water a plant needs?

A. SAP can reduce water application requirements over the course of a growing season through better water utilization, but it doesn't change the amount of water a plant needs.

Q. Does SAP change the nature of the moisture it absorbs?

A. No. SAP triggers no chemical reaction. SAP merely absorbs moisture and any water-soluble nutrients present and remains suspended in the plant root zone.

Q. Will increased moisture near the root structure cause root rot?

A. As SAP granules expand and contract to a volume size determined by water availability, they separate soil particles, providing roots oxygen and potentially decreasing the probability of plants developing root rot.

Q. Will long-term use of SAP affect soil quality?

A. As SAP breaks down it provides a food source for soil microbes. This results in improved soil quality and, over time, creates a rich soil environment that helps plants flourish.
