Drought stress critically hinders agricultural productivity, especially in arid and semi-arid zones. The results of this study show that the application of watermelon rind-based hydrogels (WR hydrogels), synthesized from a watermelon rind, acrylic acid (AA), and acrylamide (AAm), significantly enhanced soil water retention by 77.46% at a 0.3% concentration, increasing the plant height by 28.98% and biomass by 35.28% under controlled greenhouse conditions (25 degrees C/20 degrees C day/night temperature cycle, with a 12 h photoperiod at 400-500 mu mol
