3 PEAT MOSS THE SECRET BEHIND PERFORMANCE 43 Fafard s harvest and quality control specialists have always promoted the merits of peat moss. They constantly say that the key of blending really good soil lies in its primary components. Peat moss is the conerstone of a good mix and the secret behind performance. Fafard has several peatlands and some of them are very young. This allows to provide professional customers with a very fibrous peat moss, which is rarely found on the market. The company also provides more decomposed peat, enabling you to choose the options that best suits your needs. XC PEAT Very fibrous, blond peat Coarse grained Exceptional quality Unique on the market! This peat moss undergoes a vigorous screening process that ensures incomparable drainage and high gas diffusion. It promotes ultra-fast plant growth and reduces the risk of root-borne disease. PEAT Fibrous, blond peat Medium grained Superior quality Specially screened to provide excellent drainage and gas diffusion. Outperforms the average peat moss offered on the market. GERMINATING PEAT Blond peat Fine grained Perfect for use in multi-cell flats Offers an excellent balance between drainage and water retention. Promotes rapid growth. BROWN PEAT More decomposed peat Fine grained Offers good water and nutrients retention. Promotes strong and healthy plant growth. FIBRO MOSS PEAT Professional grade blond peat Medium and fine grained Perfect for creating custom blends Screened to provide good aeration and drainage. Promotes healthy plant growth. Peat moss is the key to a good mix. Both the rigorous selection and sifting of the peat moss not only allow to meet the specific needs of the different crops but also to exceed expectations in this respect.
4 4 ENERGY-SAVING SUBSTRATES REDUCE YOUR PRODUCTION COSTS Our research has shown that substantial reductions in growing times are entirely possible. By using a high performance substrate, you can actually reduce your heating and other costs related to production by reducing growing times while improving crop quality. Our studies have shown that using G10 promotes rapid root growth, particularly during the early stages. This kickstart allows growth to outperform growth curves exhibited with standard soil mixes all the way until the point of sale. They re what we call Energy Saving Substrates. Here is a trial putting G10 against two competing high-performance substrates. Made up of a blond, highly fibrous peat and produced using vigorous screening, G10 provides exceptional drainage and gas diffusion. No other product even comes close. TIME IS MONEY By using high-performance substrates, you can reduce growing times significantly. Economies in growth times were in the order of 10 days for poinsettias, 20 days for Patriot Watermelon Geraniums and 22 days for New Guinea Impatiens. That adds up to about 7% in cost savings over conventional growing methods. COMPETITION HIGH DIFFUSION FAFARD HIGH DIFFUSION Culture Times - Maximum Spreads Observed Days Save 10 days Save 22 days Save 20 days G Poinsettia Impatiens Geranium STANDARD Regular gas diffusion HIGH PERFORMANCE High gas diffusion Root quality is determined by both abundance and size as well as by the number of rootlets present. A plant s robustness, on the other hand, is determined by short internodes, sturdy stems and thick leaves. Speak with your representative today to learn more on the energy-saving substrates.
