En TerraCottem, la innovación se basa en la ciencia. Desde hace más de treinta años, nuestra tecnología medioambiental ha sido objeto de estudios independientes y de investigaciones publicadas en revistas científicas.

Estas publicaciones no solo demuestran la eficacia de TerraCottem para mejorar el crecimiento, la resiliencia y la eficiencia en el uso del agua de las plantas, sino también el valor añadido que aporta a profesionales del paisajismo, campos deportivos, horticultura y muchos otros sectores.
