Polymers is an important part of daily life, they are widely used in many different fields. The hydrophilic polymers based on acrylic and its derivatives are applied in agriculture to retain moisture, improve soil (superabsorbent polymer), to prevent erosion and exhausted soil on sloping areas (polyacrylamide or copolymers of acrylic acid and acrylamide). The covering material based on polyethylene is used in agriculture as a film, tube or sheet for covering, mulching film and nursery. The research results indicate that these materials have a huge impact on the growth and development of plants. This overview report presents the results of research and application of environmentally friendly polymer material in agricullture, such as: super absorbent water polymer (AMS-1), anti-erosion polymer (PAM), anti-dust polymer (PAM), UV-absorber three-layer film, biodegradable polyethylene film (mulching film and nursery). Those are the research results of laboratory of polymer material in Institute of Chemistry, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology in recent times.
