Superabsorbent Hydrogel Composite Based on Starch/Rice Husk Ash as a Soil Conditioner in Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Seedling Culture

A superabsorbent hydrogel composite based on a starch-grafted-poly(sodium acrylate) matrix filled with husk rice ash (RHA) was synthesized and tested as a soil conditioner to enhance the melon seedling growth. The incorporation of 20 wt% of RHA in the hydrogel matrix endowed the composite with an ou...
