PRODEASA RTC35

Identification & Functionality

Composition

The RTC35 is formed by Sphagnum peat, coco fiber and selected composed pine bark.

The combination of the three materials result in a substrate with a high aeration and a good drainage. The composed pine bark, which contains few small particles, improves the drainage; the peat guarantees the water holding capacity and the coco fiber gives the substrate a stable structure.

The coconut fiber, highly resistant, holds th estructure of the substrate through the cultivation, guarateeing its adequate behavior.

It should also be mentioned the slightly acidic pH, which improves the solubility of the essential micronutrients for the plants. The pH is due to the acidic character of the three components of the substrate

Concerning its fertilization level, the RT30 contains a base fertilizar for the first days of the cultivation. Further fertilization wil be needed, and can be added both with the watering or through controlled-freeing fertilizers, which can be introduced during the fabrication process according to the needs of the client.

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

The new RTC substrate is presented as an alternative to substrates made with only Sphagnum peat moss, and provides very satisfactory results.

The RTC substrate is part of the new line of substrates made mainly with Sphagnum peat moss and selected composted pine bark, as well as coco fiber as an added ingredient.

PRODEASA substrates are manufactured from high quality raw materials that, precisely mixed, guarantee the effectiveness of the substrate, with adequate drainage and ventilation to the needs of each crop. Each of the substrates has a different composition and a custom subscriber.
All substrates are marketed with the corrected pH (5.5-6.5), and with a base fertilizer (NPK) for the start of the culture.
Among the PRODEASA substrates, there are four large differentiated lines in terms of type of material and its properties.

RT / RTC LINE
With disease suppressing effect.

Substrates made with Roldó composted and calibrated that have an important suppressive effect of neck and root diseases and at the same time a stimulating effect of plant growth.
Line of products that stand out for their drainage and aeration properties, as well as for their long-term stability.
Its formulation includes Sphagnum blonde peat and long coconut fiber for the RTC range.
