A composition comprising super absorbent polymers, such as polyacrylates, combined with other materials, and provided to the seed at the time of planting in the soil, or shortly thereafter, provides hydration to the seed for proper germination of the seed. The composition is effective to provide hydration for an extended period when placed or injected underground adjacent to the seed, even if no rainfall is experienced. The material supports and aids uniform germination of multiple, plants, such as plants in an agricultural field.
