Peat growing medium FERTISS®

perlitevermiculiteplug

Fertiss® is a specially “wrapped” ready-to-use plug, in trays with a consistent and even soilless cutting and seed propagation media blend. Fertiss® is uniquely designed to help keep production costs low while producing healthy, vigorous young plants. Best for (crops): vegetative annuals and perennials, woody ornamentals, silviculture, tissue culture, and germination of seeds Contents A special blend of long-fiber sphagnum peat moss, perlite and vermiculite that is bound by a cellulose non-woven net. As cuttings take root, the lightweight fabric allows for root penetration to the outside air. Once primary roots have penetrated the webbing into the air gap, the natural “air pruning” takes place and promotes dense secondary roots that helps to reduce root spiraling in the plug and speed up the establishment of plants after transplanting. Features and Benefits Ready-to-use plugs: pre-filled in a propagation tray saves time and labor Easy to insert: loose, open mix makes it easy to insert cuttings Consistent and even media blend, pH adjusted Promotes natural air pruning: uniquely developed trays avoid root spiraling and encourage development of dense fibrous roots system Ideal for slow-to-root cultivars High quality wetting agent to promote quick saturation and enhanced rewetting Easy to transplant and ship young plants Stacking trays do not compress the plug media
