SilviBio PeatNoMore
SilviBio has developed a bio-based additive that improves the performance of peat-free growing media.
Adding PeatNoMore to peat-free growing media reduces watering requirements with no reduction in germination.
Its key features include:
-
A microplastic-free soil additive.
-
Contains only bio-based and biodegradable materials, in comparison to traditional soil conditioners which are petroleum-based polymers that take many years to degrade and leave a residue in the soil.
-
Retains water and decreases watering needs when blended into peat-free growing media.
-
Reduction in nutrient and fertiliser leaching.
-
Reduces the frequency of irrigation required which can lower the spread of liverwort in cell production and reduce fertiliser use by reducing runoff.
-
How do SilviBio soil conditioners affect soil moisture?Our soil conditioners absorb water from irrigation and/or rainwater. Water that would be lost is retained in the soil and released to the plants when it is needed. Water Steward and PeatNoMore can be recharged multiple times providing support to the plants throughout their growth.
-
Can you show us results/data?Yes, we have been developing and testing the soil conditioner over the last two years. Please contact us using the form below for more information.
-
Can we set up a trial?Yes, please contact us using the form below and we'd be happy to discuss this with you.
-
Does it contain microplastics?No, our conditioners are made from bio-based, biodegradable materials and do not contain microplastics.
-
In what ways is it different to currently available soil conditioners?Our soil conditioners do not contain the petroleum-based polymers (e.g. polyacrylates or polyacrylamides) used in conventional hydrogel products. Our soil conditioners are made from sustainable, bio-based materials. In addition, SilviBio PeatNoMore has been specifically designed for to improve the properties of peat-free growing media.
-
Do you offer technical support?Yes, we have a strong team of scientists who have been involved in the development of our products. They are happy to provide assistance and answer any questions you may have.
