Advantages Of The Peat-based SAB Substrate 1
The SAB Substrate 1 is a product that is especially suitable for the cultivation of young plants (seeds, rooting, transplanting) and is optimum for plant finishing (for example Hydrangea and Azalea and Poinsettia).
Due to its fertilization of approx. 1,0 g/l, means 1,0 kg of fertilizer in 1 m³ of substrate, a good supply with all necessary elements is ensured.The used fertilizer has the formula 14-16-18 in the NPK-ratio, all necessary micro-nutrients are included.
Additionally, a micro-nutrient fertilizer is added, as well as a re-moistening device which enables the product to be wettened easier during the cultivation.
Characteristics of the SAB Substrate 1
- High water capacity
- High air capacity
- Good structure
stability
- Freedom of harmful
substances
- Optimum pH-value
- Optimum
nutrient level
- Uniform quality
The SAB Substrate 1 can be used for (examples):
- The cultivation of vegetable young plants
(Chilli, Pepper, Green plants, Herbs, Lettuce, Melon, Tomato, Tobacco e.g.)
- The cultivation of outdoor ornamental young plants
(Evergreens, Bedding plants, Perennials e.g.)
- The cultivation of indoor ornamental young plants
(Dieffenbachia, Azalea, Hydrangea, Poinsettia e.g.)
- The re-potting of all kind of salt-sensitive plants
(Ferns and Pteris e.g.)
