The agricultural industry is facing decreasing availability of fertile soils and increasing water scarcity due to changing precipitation patterns as a result of global climate change. These challenges have led to the need to develop soil modifiers that, among other things, increase water retention in the soil, protecting crops from drought stress [1].
