Peat reduction and the change to alternative constituents in horticultural growing media (substrates) is a major challenge for the production of woody plants in pots (container stock). The proposed model and demonstration project is intended to show, that high-quality plants can be produced even in substrates that are highly peat-reduced. Accordingly, the project should serve to reduce barriers for the commercial nurseries, support the step-by-step implementation of peat-reduced substrates in practice and thus improve the acceptance of alternative substrates in hardy nursery stock.
