About Us
Who We Are
Kyoga SAHs Labs will provide biodegradable and environment-friendly superabsorbent hydrogels (SAHs) made with innovative technologies which will boost water absorption and retention qualities and delay the release of fertilizers in the soil, allowing the plant to access the nutrients over a longer time thus increasing plant productivity.
SAHs offered by the Company are cellulose-derived superabsorbents, loaded with fertilizers, embedding natural char nanoparticles, and natural cross-linking to integrate water-retaining and controlled-release fertilizers. These SAHs promote plant growth by providing a nutrient-rich environment and will also reduce the cost of irrigation for farmers.
