Additives (pre-mixed):
● Wetting agent for uniform water absorption
● Starter nutrient charge (low level)
● Lime for pH adjustment
Physical & Chemical Characteristics
Property
Function in Plant Growth
● High porosity
● Ensures excellent root aeration and prevents suffocation
● Good water-holding capacity
● Maintains stable moisture between irrigations
● Low bulk density
● Promotes easy root penetration and strong root systems
● Stable structure
● Reduces compaction over time
● Balanced pH (slightly acidic to neutral)
● Supports efficient nutrient uptake
● Low EC (salt content)
● Safe for sensitive seedlings and young plants
Mode of Action in Plant Growth
Rekyva Peatmoss Substrate 250 acts as a biologically supportive root environment by:
● Enhancing Root Respiration – Air-filled pores supply oxygen needed for root
metabolism.
● Regulating Moisture – Peat fibers absorb and release water gradually, reducing drought
stress.
● Supporting Nutrient Uptake – Proper pH and moisture improve fertilizer efficiency.
● Encouraging Root Branching – Soft, fibrous texture promotes fine root hair development.
Key Benefits
● Promotes fast and uniform seed germination
● Encourages strong, well-branched root systems
● Reduces risk of waterlogging and root diseases
● Improves transplant survival and establishment
● Provides consistent performance across trays and pots
Recommended Uses
Ideal for:
● Vegetable seedlings (tomato, capsicum, cabbage, onions, etc.)
● Flower seedlings and ornamentals
● Nursery propagation trays
● Potting mixes when blended with other substrates (e.g., cocopeat, perlite, vermiculite)
Compatibility
Rekyva Peatmoss Substrate 250 works well with:
● Water-soluble fertilizers (NPK, calcium nitrate, etc.)
● Controlled-release fertilizers
● Biological inoculants (Trichoderma, mycorrhizae)
● Other substrates such as cocopeat, composted bark, perlite, and vermiculite
Handling & Management Tips
● Moisten substrate evenly before filling trays or pots
● Avoid over-compaction during filling to maintain aeration
● Start a regular fertilizer program 7–10 days after germination
● Store in a dry, shaded place to maintain structure and quality
Summary
Rekyva Peatmoss Substrate 250 provides a biologically active, well-aerated, and moisture-balanced root environment, making it an excellent choice for professional seedling production and high-value horticultural crops where uniform growth and transplant success are
A balanced nutrition for strong and healthy plant growth.
