MOREINFO ON

Sphagnum peat moss is a natural organic matter coming from a peat bog. This primary resource is carefully harvested with specialized vacuum harvesters.

SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS

SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS

Peat moss comes in various levels of fibrosity and decomposition.

Once carefully graded, peat moss ensures that the qualities of each grade is optimized for a final product satisfying high quality requirements.

Mycorrhizae are fungi which increase flower, fruit and vegetable yield by entering into a symbiosis with the plant’s root system.

MYCORRHIZAE - GHA297

TECHNOLOGY

They act as a natural growth enhancer by extending the root system. Plants can acquire more of the available nutrients and water from the soil.


TECHNOLOGY

Mycorrhizae also improve resistance to root diseases and stresses. It also:

• improves fertilizer uptake

• reduces fertilizer costs

• optimizes results without changing growers’ practices

• reduces maintenance costs


TECHNOLOGY

BIOFUNGICIDEOur BIOFUNGICIDE operates to reduce disease symptoms through one or several mechanisms, which essentially gives plants a competitive advantage over pathogens.

Our BIOFUNGICIDE -GHA180 technology contains a naturally strain of bacteria: Bacillus pumilus.

It enhances plant growth and fight harmful organisms such as Fusarium, Pythium and Rhizoctonia.

BIOFUNGICIDE -GHA180

TECHNOLOGY

BIOSTIMULANT

BIOSTIMULANT is a strain of bacillus that naturally enhances growth and increases germination rates.

It creates an optimized environment that promotes growth and reduces the impact of stresses on plants.

COIRCoco fiber, commonly called “coir”, is a natural product which comes from the exterior envelope of an aged coco fruit.

COIR

We have selected a material based on these following 3 properties to create a high quality professional growth medium: • Physical (particle size and type)

• Chemical (washed material with low salinity level)

• Microbiological (pathogen-free)

Chunk coir provides an ideal balance between air porosity and water retention.

This type of coir is ideal in drought conditions thanks to its water retention ability.

COIR

PROCESSED PINE BARK Processed pine bark

consists of partially composted aged pine bark predominantly derived from red pine species.

PERLITE

Perlite is an alumino-silicate ore of volcanic origin.

Once screened in various particles sizes, it is a light weighted aggregate that has a high total porosity and improves both drainage and air porosity.

VERMICULITE Vermiculite is derived from an aluminum-iron magnesium silicate mineral. It has a high total porosity and has a good nutrient holding ability.

LIMESTONE Limestone is used to adjust a growing medium’s pH to an optimum range. It optimizes nutrient uptake and is also a source of calcium and magnesium.
