SOCO® Unveils Advanced Soil Hydrogel Techniques for Horticulture at Hort Connections 2026

Qingdao SOCO New Material Co., Ltd., a key player in soil hydrogel technologies, is set to showcase its advanced products at Hort Connections 2026, taking place from June 1-4 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Facing the challenges of climate change, SOCO's innovative solutions aim to boost agricultural efficiency in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, where drought and water scarcity are becoming increasingly pressing issues.

At Booth 141, SOCO® will feature its cutting-edge water-saving hydrogel technologies that are specifically designed to improve water retention in soil, an essential factor in successful horticulture and turf management. The company's product range includes tailored soil hydrogel solutions for two main application areas: 1) horticulture and flower cultivation, and 2) advanced moisture-retention techniques for turf and landscaping.

The SOCO® hydrogel solutions are particularly beneficial for regions with limited water supplies, as they enhance soil moisture retention, decrease irrigation needs, and support root-zone moisture management. This leads to better survival rates of transplanted plants, especially in harsh climate conditions. The polymers used in these hydrogels can absorb significant quantities of water, slowly releasing moisture to plants as required, making them versatile for a variety of applications including nurseries, landscaping projects, and ecological initiatives.

A representative from SOCO® emphasized the strategic importance of Australia as a market for sustainable horticulture and smart water management technologies. With water conservation becoming a priority for the agricultural sector, innovations like soil hydrogel technologies are expected to play a pivotal role in advancing water use efficiency, enhancing plant resilience, and achieving sustainable farming practices.

During the event, visitors will have the opportunity to discuss localized applications and integrated water management solutions with SOCO’s team of agricultural specialists, local sales representatives, and international business partners. The company provides not just hydrogel products but also comprehensive application support, technical consultations, and guidance on optimizing dosage, irrigation compatibility, and specific crop needs.

With experts noting that efficient soil water retention will be critical in creating climate-resilient agricultural practices for the future, SOCO® is committed to leveraging their polymer technology advancements to assist growers and horticulturalists in establishing more sustainable production systems.

Visitors are encouraged to connect with SOCO® at Stand 141 to explore the latest in hydrogel technologies and sustainable horticultural solutions. In recent years, SOCO® has expanded its presence globally, delivering customized hydrogel products to markets in the Americas, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Their focus on reducing water consumption while enhancing fertilizer efficiency and crop performance in drought conditions is particularly noteworthy.
