FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a composite moisture-retaining material, which can be used in crop production for the improvement of water-air and nutritional mode of soil, as well as for the recovery of vegetation on soils of various types. The composite moisture-retaining material is made on the base of acryl copolymer and filler. The acryl copolymer is made on the base of acrylamide and acrylic acid salts with a ratio of 20/80-80/20 mol. % in the presence of a cross-linking agent N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide and a polymerisation initiator. As the filler used is a mixture of wastes of biocatalytic productions of acryl monomers and acids of humic acids with a ratio of 99/70-1/30 wt % by dry substance in the form of a water paste or a dry powder-like form. The total content of the filler constitutes to 60 wt %. A method of obtaining the composite moisture-retaining material is described.

EFFECT: reduced cost of the moisture-retaining material, presence of an additional source of plant nutrition, simplification of technology of a filled gel manufacturing with the preservation of water-sorption properties at the level of existing filled and non-filled analogues.
