Develoment and evaluation of peat-reduced horticultural production systems (ToPGa)
Project
Project code: JKI-GF-08-1249, 2220MT006A
Contract period: 01.11.2021
- 31.10.2024
Purpose of research: Applied research
The horticultural sectors rely in the production of many crop plants on the use of peat substrates. Due to ecological reasons, the use of peat has to be reduced or if possible eliminated in the horticultural production systems and alternative, peat-free substrates are needed.
The aim of this project is to study the use of peat-free and peat-reduced substrates in the horticultural production system with an holistic approach to support producers with scientifically based knowledge and to offer applied solutions for a sustainable horticultural production.
