19%less CO2*
*Compared to segment standard with 100% peat (rec. 425), verified in accordance with ISO 14064-1 standard
GreenFibre® mediumWhite peat, moderately decomposed (0 – 25 mm)
Improved root development in TS 3 with 20% GreenFibre® (left) compared to the standard potting substrate with 10% perlite (right)
Practical findings:
- Very even plant growth
- Superior root growth due to lower risk of waterlogging in the root zone
- Easier irrigation management, very fast rewetting
- No ‚dry edge‘-effect on tables
- With a normal nitrogen-based liquid feeding scheme in line with common practice, no special feeding is required
- Also ideal also in combination with controlled release fertiliser
- Reduced substrate weight allows higher truck loading volumes

GreenFibre® mediumFrozen through black peatWhite peat (0 – 10 mm)
Practical findings:
- Universal bedding mix for small pots
- Ideal for a wide range of bedding crops as well as perennial plants
- Fast development of active fibre roots
- No shrinkage during cultivation
- Fast drainage following irrigation or precipitation
- Substrate surface dries off faster and prevents growth of algae
- Easy rewetting supports a dry-cultivation approach for compact plants
- Reduced substrate weight allows higher truck loading volumes

TerrAktiv®GreenFibre® mediumFrozen through black peatWhite peat (0 – 25 mm)
Practical findings:
- Excellent results for a wide range of bedding plants as well as perennials
- Has become the standard substrate for large nurseries in the south of Germany
- Proven as a perfect substrate recipe for perennials
- Bedding crops grow slightly more compact, which reduces the need for growth regulator
- TerrAktiv® generates high microbial activity, which leads to suppressive effects and stimulation of plant growth
- Use of 50% alternative constituents can be used to reduce carbon emissions
- Good combination of crop security with sustainability aspects
