At Plantae Labs, we’re committed to advancing sustainable agriculture through innovative solutions. Our latest research highlights the extraordinary capabilities of BioSap-Q, featuring triterpenic saponins known for their non-ionic surfactant properties, to enhance water efficiency and improve soil management in agriculture.
Study Overview:
Our recent experiments demonstrate how BioSap-Q significantly improves water infiltration in sandy, dry soils—challenging environments where water conservation and management are crucial.
-
- Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of BioSap-Q in improving soil hydraulic properties.
-
- Soil Used: Sandy loam soil with 5.5% organic matter, sieved to 2 mm, air-dried.
-
- Instrument: Decagon Devices Mini Disk Infiltrometer Model S.
-
- Instantaneous Infiltration: Measurement in dry soil.
-
- Concentrations: BioSap-Q at 0.005% and control with potable water.
Our setup showcases the precise measurement of water infiltration enhanced by BioSap-Q.
Key Findings:
-
- Enhanced Water Infiltration
-
- Increased Hydraulic Conductivity
The graph below illustrates the stark difference in water infiltration between control soils and those treated with a 0.005% concentration of BioSap-Q. Notice how BioSap-Q treated soils absorb water more efficiently over time, reducing waste and enhancing water usage.
Impact and Application:
These results confirm BioSap-Q’s effectiveness and offer practical, scalable solutions for farmers worldwide.
Effectiveness:
-
- BioSap-Q at 0.005% significantly increases the infiltration rate.
-
- Indicates a reduction in soil hydrophobicity.
General Considerations:
- BioSap-Q proves effective under dry soil conditions.
