TC’s effect on biomass production in vermiculite and perlite tomato seedbeds and on the WRC of these seedbeds

09/04/2018 - 00:00

At the Institute for Mediterranean and Subtropical Horticulture "La Mayora" (IHSM-CSIC), a research station from the University of Málaga, Spain, trials were carried out on tomato seedbeds made from vermiculite and perlite.

Professor María Remedios Romero Aranda explains...

  • "The addition of TerraCottem Universal resulted in a rise of the water retention capacity in both the perlite and vermiculite substrate and an increase in biomass production for both the underground (roots) as the above-ground growth (leaves and stems).
  • Personally I was keen to see if the root would penetrate inside the polymers contained in TerraCottem Universal. The pictures I took, with a stereomicroscope, of the tomato root hairs speak volumes."
