SAP (super absorbent resin) can be mixed with fertilizer, but the following issues need to be noted:
1. Types of mixed fertilizers: Some fertilizers may affect the effectiveness of fertilizers or even produce antagonistic effects after being mixed with SAP.
2. Soil type: Different types of soils react differently to SAP. For example, heavy clay soil has better water retention, and the effect of adding SAP may not be obvious.
3. Crop type: Different crops have different requirements for water and nutrients. When choosing the types of SAP and fertilizer, the growth characteristics of crops need to be considered.
4. Application method: The mixing ratio of SAP and fertilizer, application depth, application time and other factors will affect the use effect.

Characteristics and functions of SAP
High water absorption: SAP has a strong water absorption capacity and can absorb hundreds of times its own weight of water, and release it when there is sufficient water to provide water for plants.
Water retention: SAP can retain moisture for a long time, reduce soil moisture evaporation, and improve soil water holding capacity.
Improve soil structure: SAP can improve the soil aggregate structure, increase soil permeability, and facilitate root growth.
Advantages and disadvantages of mixed use

Advantages of SAP (super absorbent resin):
Improve fertilizer utilization: SAP can slowly release nutrients in fertilizer, reduce nutrient loss, and improve fertilizer utilization.
Improve soil environment: SAP can improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil and provide a better environment for plant growth.
Reduce irrigation times: SAP can reduce irrigation times and save water resources.
