Although large pores within sandy and oxisolic soils absorb large quantities of rainfall, less than 20 percent is retained in the root zone. The remaining water drains more deeply into the soil, leaching most plant nutrients, E. coli, some pesticides and endocrine disruptive nano- sized materials to depths beyond the roots of most crops and into groundwater. Plants free of water deficit events retain healthier root systems that efficiently absorb available plant nutrients, enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. In studies, SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain up to 95 percent of applied water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to three times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes. Researchers anticipate that SWRT membranes will continue to increase potato and rotational crop production for many generations. Alvin Smucker and his team are looking for producers interested in on-farm trials of SWRT, particularly those who stand to benefit greatly from the technology's water- and nutrient- conserving benefits.
