In hydroseeders equipped with mechanical agitation, ProGanics® mixes quickly into a viscous, dark-brown slurry that is easy to apply and meter. ProGanics is designed to retain water for slurries that go down evenly, adhere to the soil and resist dewatering.
Application Rate:
% Organic Matter lb/ac kg/ha < 0.75 5,000 5,600 ≥ 0.75 & <1.5 4,500 5,040 ≥ 1.5 & <2 4,000 4,480 ≥ 2 & <5 3,500 3,920 Quantifying percent organic matter and critical soil parameters is achieved via a soil test. In the absence of a soil test to determine organic matter, apply ProGanics at a minimum rate of 4,000 pounds per acre (4,480 kg/ha). Soils with organic matter greater than 5% typically do not require ProGanics.
- Recommended Applications
- Development of soils with low organic matter (< 5%).
- Rapid establishment and sustained growth of vegetation.
- Replacement of costly or difficult to obtain topsoil.
- Replacement of compost, peat, manure and other sources of organic material.
- Typically installed beneath Hydraulically-applied or Rolled Erosion Control Products (HECPs and RECPs) as growing media.
