The ability to retain water in the soil by adding various super-absorbents, neutral to the soil environment, will open the way to the adaptation of various terrains, even those with extremely unfavourable conditions for various crops. Refining the dosing technologies and selection of appropriate substances will contribute to the development of specialized production of, especially fruit and vegetable in regions where, at the moment, it is not possible or unprofitable. It should also be emphasized that the binding of water in the soil has pro-environmental advantages because it will significantly reduce the amount of water used for irrigation. In addition, all the above aspects entail a reduction in production costs and contribute to the creation of a competitive product. It can also be an alternative to farmers applying drip irrigation in order to reduce the water usage fees planned to be imposed on farmers.
The ability to bind other nutrients for plants and beneficial bacteria by sorbents will positively affect the quality of the raw material and should allow cultivation in an ecological manner. The initiation of its cultivation on a larger scale in Poland, using very poor soils, of the 5th and 6th class, in good cultivation conditions and highly advanced technologies, will allow lowering prices and induce exports to European countries. Poland, on the other hand, may have a chance to appear on the European market as a strong producer of many niche species and varieties. Fruit with high pro-health values goes to consumers across Europe as a response to the market demand for so-called Functional food.
