HydraFiber® Specialty Short Fiber is a specifically engineered substrate component for propagation and small cell production. Fine, short fibers blend easily with peat or coir and fill trays and pots under 4 in./10 cm. With physical properties similar to peat moss, it can help reduce peat moss in mixes while providing superior water holding capacity versus other substrates and high air space for vegetative liner production and seed germination. The result is stronger rooting, easier transplanting and a better growing experience, using 100% engineered fiber compressed 13:1 for efficient shipping and storage with specialized HydraFiber Processing Equipment. HydraFiber has been trialed extensively at production facilities across a wide variety of crops.
Key Points
- Specifically engineered substrate component ideal for propagation and filling smaller cells, with physical properties similar to peat moss.
- Fine strand, short fibers blend easily with peat or coir and fill propagation trays and pots smaller than 4 in./10 cm.
- Provides superior water holding capacity versus other substrates and high air space for vegetative liner production and seed germination, promoting stronger rooting and easier transplanting.
- 100% engineered fiber from renewable sources, highly compressed at a 13:1 ratio; requires specialized HydraFiber Processing Equipment and can be used as an alternative to perlite while reducing peat moss usage and increasing water holding in finished crops.
