ASCOGEL is a revolutionary super-absorbent biostimulant and soil conditioner developed by NGAG to combat water scarcity and nutrient depletion in agricultural soils. It is specifically engineered to significantly decrease the expenses associated with food production while enhancing the adaptability of crops in various challenging environments, such as arid, drought-prone, and saline soils.

ASCOGEL functions by retaining both water and nutrients within the plant root zone, thereby diminishing the need for excessive irrigation and enhancing the absorption efficiency of fertilizers and other agricultural inputs. This not only reduces the financial burden on farmers but also minimizes the environmental impact of over-irrigation and chemical seepage into groundwater sources.

The efficacy of ASCOGEL has been validated through numerous trials, including the successful planting of 100 willow trees utilizing ASCOGEL. Comparative video evidence has demonstrated a substantial improvement in water retention and plant establishment when compared to untreated soil. Furthermore, ASCOGEL is compatible with hydroseeding applications, broadening its utility to encompass large-scale land rehabilitation, erosion control, and reforestation initiatives.

NGAG's diverse client base for ASCOGEL ranges from local farming cooperatives to international agricultural input distributors, encompassing agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and amenity sectors. The product aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to zero hunger, clean water, and climate action, positioning it as a pertinent option for governmental procurement in water-stressed regions globally.
