HYDRODOTS

Can a simple product change our planet?

Hydrodots is a gamechanger in agriculture, reducing water consumption by up to 50 %, can store water and are 100 % naturally biodegradable.

What are Hydrodots?

Hydrodots are a highly water absorbent hydrogel substrate. The unique hydrophilic properties of our biopolymer allow it to hold large amounts of water, thus maintaining the soil's moisture.
Made from Cellulose, Hydrodots are 100% biologically degradable and act as a protective shield against prolonged heat-stress, water scarcity or deficiencies in nutrient supply.
Nontoxic, entirely biodegradable substrate that supports microorganisms and higher air permeability in the soil.

What can Hydrodots do?

HydroDots keep your soil moist, by absorbing up to 100 times it's own weight in water.
HydroDots can help restore degraded soil.
Hydrodots will boost yields of plant-based products such as fruits, vegetables, truffles, mushrooms, cannabis, crop plants, quality herbage and many more, thus increasing revenue per hectare.
Hydrodots enable a sustainable plant production in areas with barren soil, by making up for non existing humus in it's function and as it degrades becoming humus itself.
Up to 50% decrease of used water, by controlled storage and release of water, leading to prolonged irrigation intervals.
Due to slow-release function for macro- and micronutrients a decrease of used fertilizers by up to 80% is possible.

Combined with our cultivation experience, Hydrodots can solve various problems in the agricultural sector.
