Zeba is a unique superabsorbent polymer based on natural cornstarch, making it biodegradable and nontoxic. As a starch-based polymer, Zeba is made up of glucose molecules, which are linked together chemically to become a water-insoluble, net-like matrix in the form of a hydrogel that holds and releases water for use by plants as needed.

The immense size and weight of its molecular structure sets Zeba apart. These anionic units are able to absorb up to 500 times their original weight. The Zeba hydrogel slowly releases just the right amount of encapsulated moisture in response to plant root suction. The hydrogel easily rehydrates and stores more water as moisture enters the soil. This process is repeated over and over before Zeba loses effectiveness.

By keeping the right amount of moisture available to plants as needed, Zeba facilitates plant production from seed germination through harvest. A healthy microenvironment is created in the soil that provides plants with the moisture and nutrients necessary for successful growth. The result is faster germination, quicker emergence, consistent growth and higher, better-quality yields using less water.

Our granular form is the Turf & Specialty mix ideal for turf seeding and sod projects, resuscitating brown spots and promoting strong vigorous turf growth. Turf and Specialty is available bulk or can be added during a Terraseeding application with our Express Blower Trucks.
