Abstract: For the characteristics of the high temperature, strong light, and infertile soil in desert, we developed a compound super absorbent for plant. It was found that the compound super absorbent with 1.0% nutritional elements could swell 450~800g/g in water and 50~70g/g in salt-solution to its own weight, and with better gel strength. Through the cultivation of liquorice with different compound super absorbent under drought condition, it was shown that 1.0%~ 1.5% compounds super absorbent in sand could maintain the water condition around the roots and supply the nutrient to the liquorice
