BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

Water scarcity is a situation where a sufficient amount of water is not available to meet the demands within a region.This can be considered one of the major problems the earth faces, it is stimulated by both natural and manmade causes. Water is unequally distributed over the earth surface and of that amount much of it is wasted, polluted and sustainably managed.
Water scarcity does not occur all over the world, it happens in region where the water level in ground is lower than the reach and due to the heat produced in the earth’s atmosphere.Other causes may include drought, pollution, overuse, etc. One of the major regions behind water scarcity is that its demandsare directly proportionate to that of the increase in population.
The effects of this phenomenon includes, hunger, diseases, sanitation issues, poverty, migration and so on. One of the major field that is affected by this factor is agriculture and farming. Water is the most essential part of agriculture. It is used in irrigation, the application of pesticides and fertilizers, frost control, growing plants, vegetables and raising livestocks. So water retention and better usage of available water resources has to be considered one of the most prominent and important feature in modern agriculture. There has been many number of invention based on the above mentioned factor.
In a patent JP5101300B2, The present invention relates to a method for producing water-absorbing polymer particles by droplet polymerization in a gas phase, wherein the polymer particles are dried in a fluidized bed dryer after polymerization. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the water-absorbing polymer particles themselves, hygiene products containing these water-absorbing polymer particles and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
Another patent JP6184081B2, relates to a method for producing a water-absorbing polymer having a low drying characteristic coefficient by polymerizing a monomer solution and drying the resulting hydrogel using a warm gas stream, an apparatus for carrying out the method and the method The use of the water-absorbing polymer produced by the method for the production of sanitary goods.
Yet another patent US9476175B2, Disclosed are soil additives capable of hydrophilizing soil particles and/or increase available water capacity in soil. The soil additive are capable of increasing the available water content/capacity (AWC) in soils, the additive in one embodiment comprising a polymer composition having a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion, wherein the hydrophobic portion of the copolymer binds with the soil particle surface and the hydrophilic portion of the copolymer can bind with water. This results in the prevention, arrest or decelerated loss of water from the targeted area, for example the plant root zone, which allows for improved water usage efficiency by plants, grasses, vegetation, etc.

Similarly, there are various other methods and inventions out there that helps water retention in soil. However there still exists a need to develop a interlinked hybrid polymer that is produced from organic material, which not only gives better water retention but also helps in soil fertility. The interlinked hybrid polymer in the present invention meets the said requirement. It can enhance the water retaining capacity of soil so that crops/vegetation get appropriate amounts of water to grow in conditions such as drought, less rainfall, degradation and salinization. After the polymer is decomposed it provides necessary nutrients to the plants and better yield can be achieved. It provides a more favourable environment for Agro-farming. Plants can be grown even in monsoon failure periods. It is eco-friendly in nature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to eco-Friendly Interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer for organic agro-Farming in RWH Channel, and it is used as a planting medium, reduces the water usage and available water can be used efficiently and effectively.

Water is the essential need for every life form. For agricultural activities huge amounts of water is needed. By using Interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer as a planting medium, we can reduce the water usage and available water can be used efficiently and effectively. It can enhance the water retaining capacity of soil so that crops/vegetation get appropriate amounts of water to grow in conditions such as drought, less rainfall, degradation and salinization. After the polymer is decomposed it provides necessary nutrients to the plants and better yield can be achieved. It provides a more favourable environment for Agro-farming. Plants can be grown even in monsoon failure periods. It is eco-friendly in nature.
Interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer was prepared using Jackfruit rags as base material. The ground neem seeds organically crosslinks by means of heat, sunlight and emulsion polymerization and gives rise to a polymer with high retention capacity. It can improve soil quality, preserve water and resist drought stress, increase seed sprouting and seedling development leading to better farm success. From the environmental aspects, it is non-polluting and biodegradable, helps in reducing irrigation frequency & water consumption and creates a simple cyclic process to provide water directly to roots and prevent soil compaction.
In one embodiment Overall water retention capacity can be enhanced. Further lifespan is increased. The degradation can be delayed by adding more substituents. Increasing gelatin content by adding more resin could result in a larger amount of product.

Fig 1 illustrates the complete step by step process of the present invention’s eco friendly interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer. The said procedure has 12 steps and each step is described in the form of a flowchart. Jackfruit rags being the major component, 750 grams of jackfruit rags was taken in a beaker. 500 ml of Citron juice is added and left ideal for 3 hours. 1 liter of water is added to the jackfruit rags and citron juice. It is boiled until the jackfruit rags are simmered and as soon as the liquid begins to simmer, continue until the rags start to soften. The cooked mixture was then strained using a sieve overnight and the liquid is collected and stored in a beaker separately. The cooked rags are taken in another beaker. 300 grams of Neem seeds and cooked rags are dried in sunlight for 4 days. At the same time, urad dal skin along with soaked water and moringa tree's resin is dried for 2 days separately and crushed. The neem seedsare crushed thoroughly and rags are cut into pieces. 450 grams of sun-dried rag pieces and crushed seeds were added to the 300 ml of the strained citron liquid. This mixture is boiled for 10 minutes at 180-degree Celsius. The cooked mixture is further crushed and added to a bowl of 150 grams of plain sun-dried neem seeds and jackfruit rag mixture. Then the dried urad dhal skin and resin mixture is added to the bowl and mixed thoroughly. The final mixture is mixed with coir pith

Fig 2 illustrates the nutrient composition of coir pith that constitutes a part of the absorbent polymer of the present invention. There are many numbers of nutrients present in the coir pith that serves to the growth of the crop, and their compositions are as follows:

Fig 3 depicts the raw form of the complete polymer mixture. With all the ingredients soaked, sieved, boiled, crushed and mixed. Each ingredient has been treated separately or combined according to their nature and the nutrient component. Fig 4 represents the final end product of the present invention. Eco friendly interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer. This depicts the product after all the steps including drying. The end product in sandy in colour and texture, which is dry in nature.

Fig 5 illustrates the product before adding water. The eco-friendly interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer is formulated to retain water and to supply necessary nutrients required for better yield. Fig 6, represents the soaked up absorbed stage of the interlinked hybrid absorbent polymer. The water added to the product is completely absorbed and retained in, which increases the size and the weight of the said product.
