Water retainer substantially increases the soil's potential to sequester water, enhancing soil health and, by extension, crop yield. One important advantage of the water retainer is the ability of the soil to withstand extreme drought conditions. In this era where the knowledge of climate change and its global effect is essential, there is a need to come up with innovations to adapt, especially in agriculture. This research analyzed the effect of this soil water conservation innovation on some plant and soil parameters yielding results that tilted in the positive direction, improving yield and availability of soil moisture.65enwater retainersoil moisture conservationclimate changeChlorophyhll Fluorescenceplant wet biomassplant shoot and root lengthsoil pHsoil moisture retentionnitrate contentammonium contentDEENK Témalista::Mezőgazdaságtudomány
