Using Hortifeeds Soft Fruit Coir Mix (or Peat Mix, depending on substrate used), in combination with adjustment of quantities of calcium and ammonium nitrate fertilisers, allows growers to provide the right conditions at each stage. ...
Treatments comprised different concentrations of liquid and solid waste digestate, compost, peat and composting earthworms. For all of the different experimental treatments, controls were also included, using mineral fertilisers instead of digestate, in a commercial substrate. ...
Under elevated temperature and strong solar radiation, algal blooms and subsequent high pH effluents have often been observed. In this study, four substrates (gravel, peat, organic mulch, and topsoil) were evaluated for their ability to attenuate high pH effluents from a WSP. Synthetic wastewater with pH > 9.5, and low organic and nutrient loadings, was used ...
After emigrating to America, he was among the first to introduce greenhouse crops in substrate. Since then, Theo has been a horticultural consultant, helping manage over 10 separate greenhouse productions all exceeding over 100 acres. ...
The environmental impacts of the establishment and maintenance of lawn, including the production and use of various substrates, were analyzed by life cycle assessment (LCA). The project focused on comparing substrates with different peat and compost contents using pilot substrates and developed a calculation tool to optimize ...
In the first experiment, five different substrates were tested: four binary mixtures of SSC and peat (100% SSC, 75% SSC, 50% SSC and 25% SSC, by volume) without fertilization, and a control substrate (peat-based substrate + fertilizer). ...
Untitled Document Composted material boosts sustainable growing media Composted material can be a major cost-effective component of growing media being not only a sustainable, well-structured substrate but also a source of nutrients and buffering capacity. What is composted material? ...
