Using a special lance, the water-retaining granulate can be applied specifically to the root area of established trees – without opening up large areas of the soil.
Efficient water retention in the root area
The example of the city park in Barcelona demonstrates how the granulate is placed directly at the roots. There it stores water and releases it to the plant as required. This method helps to sustainably improve water availability, extend watering intervals and reduce water consumption.
Advantages of the method:
- Targeted water storage: The granulate absorbs large quantities of water and releases it in a controlled manner.
- Reduced drought stress: An improved moisture supply supports root growth.
- Efficient use of resources: Water consumption is optimized, reducing irrigation costs.
- Simple and targeted application: Manual application with the lance allows the granules to be placed directly on the roots – ideal for existing trees.
This method is particularly suitable for urban trees, parks and individual trees in hot or dry regions.
