Model and demonstration project for practical implementation of peat-reduced substrates in tree nurseries - model region Ammerland (ToSBa)
Project
Project code: 2820MD010
Contract period: 01.08.2020
- 31.07.2024
Budget: 367,144 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: climate (climate relevance), resource protection, resource efficiency, horticulture, tree nursery
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.
