SilviBio Water Steward
SilviBio has developed a soil conditioner for field application that provides protection against crop failure due to drought conditions or low soil moisture.
In water deficit conditions, the soil additive improves germination by 40% and can save up to 50 million litres of water per 1 million seedlings.
Its key features include:
-
A biobased, biodegradable, microplastic-free soil additive.
-
Improving soil water holding capacity by minimising excessive water drainage and evaporation, meaning plants need less watering.
-
Enables extension of the growing season by improving seedling establishment.
-
Reduces plant stress caused by drought and transplant shock
-
Reduces nutrient leaching. This can enhance the fertiliser use efficiency by extending the nutrient release period.
-
There is no need to change growing systems: the conditioner can be supplied in a powder form and used with existing nursery machinery.
