Slide 2: Extreme environments challenge agricultural sustainability
\ OF ¢ Extreme environments challenge agricultural sustainability ¢ More than 850 million people go to bed hungry goseaerssssdii * ¢ Chemical emissions exacerbating climate change yu ese8 ¢ Water is now a scarce commodity in many countries
Slide 3: Ascogel: Hydrophobic soils
Ascogel Hydrophobic soils High temperatures create gasses that coat soil particles making them become solid over time. Light rains fail to penetrate these soils, and heavy rains result in soil erosion, flooding and landslides
Slide 4: Hydrophobic soils as a result of wildfires
Hydrophobic soils as a result of wildfires ee Plant materials that burn hot release a waxy substance that penetrates the soil while still in gas form. It takes very high temperatures to produce this gas which coats soil particles when it cools and becomes solid. To the naked eye, hydrophobic soils l
Slide 5: Replanting damaged areas
Ascosgl Replanting damaged areas ¢ Natural regeneration of forests devastated by wildfires can take up to 20 years if not assisted ¢ Surface cover is essential for carbon sequestration ¢ Reduces impact of raindrops falling on bare soils ¢ Shelters soil surface particles from wind erosion * Reduces s
Slide 6: Ascogel ameliorates soil water stress during periods of drought
Ascogel ameliorates soil water stress during periods of drought Electrical forces push inner structures of Ascogel particles away from their center via electrical repulsion. Small voids are created inside the particles that draw in water causing rapid swelling of the gel. When water is taken up by t
Slide 7: Ascogel
Ascogel Holds up to 400 times its physical weight in water and contains:- ¢ Saponins to release arid soil surfaces from hydrophobicity ¢ Betaines for improved recovery from biotic and abiotic stresses * Polysaccharides to feed soil and plant life, plus alginic acids for improved nutrient assimilatio
Slide 8: Nutrient leaching is a major concern
Nutrient leaching is a major concern. Percolating rainwater removes high levels of nutrients in low CEC soils. Ascogel creates a colloidal zone around A scogel plant roots to hold nutrients until required by plants. Soil particle surrounded by film of water Root hair Water available | H20 + 0; - H,C

Slide 13: How to apply Ascogel
How to apply Ascogel Ascogel ¢ Add 1 kilo of Ascogel per 250 - 300 liters of water to create a pourable gel. ¢ Pour gel into furrow and lightly cover with soil then place crop seeds or modules directly above the gel. ¢ Atypical application rate would be around 500 ml of gel per plant.
