FLORAHUM-SP

Composition

Substrate is composed of organic and mineral substances for growing vegetable seedlings. It contains (as well as a seeding substrate, but at higher concentrations), all required nutrients, macro and micro biogenic elements.
The composition of white (Sphagnum) and black peat gives the substrate high consistency, stability and good physical and chemical properties. By adding a certain amount of lime, the pH of the substrate is optimized and , by addition of the clay, adsorptive properties. In the substrate was added a wetting agent (FIBA Zorb or Hidrogel) and perlite that further improves its physical properties.

Usage

Extraordinary specialized substrate intended for cultivation of seedlings from seeding in seedling trays until planting in a permanent location. From this substrate, plants draw all necessary ingredients for a successful development during that growth phase.
Sterilized with water vapor.
It is primarily intended for the cultivation and production of pepper, tomato, cucumber, eggplant and seedlings of other vegetables.

Packages: 80 lit bag  (39 pcs per pallet )

Advantages

-Substrate have a high structural stability adapted for seeding in seedling trays.
- Sterilized with water vapor at 95 C min. 30 minutes.
-Contains all the necessary macro and micro-elements 
-Magnesium and iron are in chelated form 
-Optimal pH value for production of pepper, tomato, cucumber, eggplant and other vegetables
-Holds moisture for a long time ( added wetting agent Fiba Zorb or Hidrogel )
- Regular chemical analyses in the laboratories of the Federal institute for Agropedology and Federal Agromediterran institute confirm and guarantee durability and consistency of physical and chemical parameters of substrates.

Nutrient content

Nitrogen (N)  200-300 mg/L
Phosphorus (as P2O2) 150-250 mg/L
Potassium (as K20) 250-350 mg/L
Magnesium (as MgO) 80-100 mg/L

Besides basic macroelements, substrate contain all necessary microelements added in form of RADIGEN mixtures, mainly in chelated form.

— Active reaction (pH in water, 1:2.5): 5.5 – 6.5
— Total dissolved salt (1:2): 1,2 - 1,8 g/L

FLORAHUM – SP is structurally homogenous: the black peat component connects the structural elements, while the white (Sphagnum) improves the physical properties. For the production of seedlings - pepper, tomato, cucumber, eggplant and other vegetables, it is recommended to use a styrofoam cassette, whose planting area should not be less than 5-6 cm. It is not necessary to sterilize Florahum SP before planting. In the production of seedlings in the substrate Florahum - SP, special attention must be paid to ensuring optimum conditions for growth: temperature - day and night, relative humidity, regular ventilation, lighting illumination, moderate humidity maintenance, etc.  It must be ensured that watering is moderate: Excessive watering leads to rinse the nutrients, starvation of seedlings, and frequent occurrences of illness. Plants can experience the so-called. "Shock" when watering with cold water. It is therefore recommended to use the stale water. It is recommended in the second half of the breeding period, due to possible rinsing of the nutrients, to fertilize the young plants using fertilizers with an emphasized content of phosphorus and potassium. Nourishment can be performed trough the soil with combinations of NPK 8:13:24; 11:44:11; 13:40:13; 14:10:34 or through a leaf (foliar). The concentrations of the nutrients for the foliar nourishment should be 0.1% to 0.15%, i.e., 10-15 cm3 concentrated solution to 10 liters of water. In case of a balanced and good growth of plants, fertilizing  can be done later, by the combination of NPK 20:20:20. It is necessary to regularly monitor the health of the plants and treat them with appropriate protective compounds, recommended by an expert.
