BioWAG is an innovative, biodegradable soil additive designed to improve water retention directly in the plant root zone. By absorbing irrigation water or rainfall and releasing it gradually to plant roots, BioWAG helps stabilize soil moisture in soils with low water-holding capacity and reduces water losses through evaporation and deep percolation.
Within GEORGIA, BioWAG is demonstrated as part of integrated irrigation strategies, including rainwater harvesting and storage. The solution supports water-use efficiency, reduces irrigation frequency during dry periods, and can contribute to improved soil conditions.
