Akili Super Water Retainer

Akili's natural and/polymer based water retainers are specifically formulated to retain water in the soil after the end of the rainy season. They also aid nutrient availability and control insect damage at the root level. Irrigation frequency may be reduced by 50%

To use, mix with manure or compost and then cover with a layer of topsoil to protect the water retainer from being carried off by wind or drainage water.

Suitable for crop farming, tree planting and landscaping (to hold water below the lawn). 1 kg of Water Retainer stores up to 2.5 liters of water in the ground.

Benefits include:

Reduces watering frequency for irrigated crops

Enhances plant growth through continuous availability of water and absorbed nutrient

Reduces leaching of nutrients

Helps to aerate the soils by expanding when absorbing

water and contracting when releasing water

Degrades naturally

Kills insects (in the root system)

Stores 2.5 liters of water in the ground (for every 1kg of Water Retainer)

Instructions For Use

To use, mix with manure or compost and then cover with a layer of topsoil to protect the water retainer from being carried off by wind or drainage water.

Recommended Quantity

Use based on the amount of water you want to retain in the ground. We recommend 100 grams for a smaller plant and 500 grams for a tree. However, to retain a lot more water, use more.
