COVERCROP 100L

Covercrop mainly contains peat derived from the well-known peat moss or Sphagnum, a general name for more than 200 species of moss that grow together. Sphagnum peat is famous for its water retention capacity, holding up to 20 times its dry weight in water.

Covercrop factories dry the moss and process it to sterilize it, preparing it to be mixed with the rest of the organic components of this high-quality substrate.

To the Sphagnum, coconut fiber, perlite, and a small amount of worm humus are added. This significantly improves the substrate, as perlite and coconut fiber help maintain porosity and drainage even after repeated watering. Worm humus is an organic fertilizer that provides slow-release nutrients, ideal for promoting soil microbial life and serving as the plant’s initial food source.

The quality of Covercrop is further enhanced with the addition of Trichoderma and mycorrhizae, using powdered, dried, and ground mycorrhizal roots. This organic component supports the early natural development of beneficial fungi.

Finally, the mix is completed with humic acids extracted from leonardite, a humified plant substance rich in organic matter, representing an intermediate stage between peat and lignite. Despite being an enriched substrate, Covercrop has a low electrical conductivity of 1.1 µS/cm, allowing you to control the level of fertilization from the very beginning of the growing cycle.

Note: It is recommended to start adding fertilizers from the second week of cultivation. If fertilization is needed earlier, use very low doses to gradually adapt plants to the desired nutrient levels.
