Abstract: A composition for enhancing plant growth and a method of applying the composition onto hydrophobic surfaces and retaining the composition on these surfaces is disclosed. The composition comprises a mixture of superabsorbent monomer and linear polymer that maybe partially cross-linked, a binder and nutrients that may be applied onto surfaces of materials that are part of the plants or plant growth environment such as seeds, soil, mulch, plant roots and herbicides. An aqueous solution of the composition may be applied to the material surfaces through the irrigation system. The polymer undergoes in-situ polymerization and crosslinking due to the effect of the heat from the sun and UV radiation. Once dried, a substantially solid film forms on the surfaces that contains the superabsorbent and the nutrients that are available for the plants to enhance their growth.
