N-GEL™ POLYMERS FOR AGRICULTURAL FLUID DRILLING |
| Author: | B.E. Banyai |
| Abstract:
N-Gel™ polymers have been developed for agricultural fluid-drilling. Factors to consider in gel selection for seed-additive-gel combinations include gel makeup, rheology, temperature and pH stability, additive compatibility and oxygen diffusion. These areas have been evaluated and reviewed for N-Gel Type H. Certain gels, like N-Gel, have been known to exhibit low phytotoxicity during storage of pregerminated seed in gel. Possible mechanisms will be offered to explain this unexpected benefit from the gel. | |
