TerrAktiv®GreenFibre® coarseFrozen through black peatPeat fibresWhite sod peat (25 – 45 mm)
Practical findings:
- Ideal root development due to perfect draining
- Drier surface and good water distribution in the root zone
- TerrAktiv® generates high microbial activity, which leads to suppressive effects and stimulation of plant growth
- Reduction of 0.5 – 1.0 kg/m³ controlled release fertiliser is possible (TerrAktiv® is a natural source of P and K)
- Use of 35% alternative constituents possible
