Carbohydrate-based soil conditioners for optimal growth
Soil
conditioners have a wide range of functionalities - from fertilisation
to structure improvement to stabilisation. Soil conditioners that
improve soil water status have a direct effect on plant growth
and can affect the spatial distribution (diffusion) and effectiveness
of agrochemical active ingredients and nutrients. Adjuvants &
Formulations presents an insight in the current knowledge and
commercialisation of soil conditioners based on carbohydrate chemistry.
