Polygrain

All-in-one: cellulose + superabsorbent + starter fertilizer

Polygrain consists of cellulose, a superabsorber and starter fertilizer for water storage. It is biodegradable and can store up to 200 times its own weight in water. The biological component is broken down quickly in the soil by microorganisms, while the superabsorber is broken down more slowly. This achieves both a very good short-term effect and a long-term effect of over 3 years. This is crucial for the success of new plantings in terms of growth and establishment. This soil additive also contains a starter fertilizer.

YOUR ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

Efficient and effective

R

AVOIDS DRY STRESS

POLYGRAIN consists of a superabsorber with a storage capacity of up to 200 times its own weight in water and nutrients and enables longer dry periods to be bridged.
R

SAVES WATER AND FERTILIZER

Water and fertilizer are stored efficiently, saving up to 50 % on irrigation and 20 % on fertilizer.
R

LONG-TERM EFFECT

POLYGRAIN consists of three components. The main ingredient is plant cellulose, supplemented by a powerful superabsorbent. This combination ensures short and long-term effects (3 to 5 years). In addition, POLYGRAIN contains a water-soluble starter fertilizer with NPK + Mg.
R

EASY TO USE

Simple manual or machine application.
R

BIODEGRADABLE

POLYGRAIN is broken down continuously, completely and without residue by soil microorganisms.
R

IMPROVES AND ACCELERATES GROWTH

POLYGRAIN promotes good development of young plants and seedlings in early growth phases, especially during longer periods of drought.
R

MAINTAINS PLANT HEALTH

Supports the use of mycorrhizae and other beneficial microorganisms and reduces the need for pesticides.
R

FASTER AND HIGHER YIELDS

POLYGRAIN promotes seed germination and undisturbed plant growth, minimizes the risk of failure and maximizes the yield potential of the soil.
R

IMPROVED FLOOR STRUCTURE

Increases the porosity of the soil and thus its aeration and water infiltration rate, which facilitates root growth and reduces water loss through surface runoff.
R

MAINTENANCE OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

Additional soil moisture promotes biological activity in dry periods, increases mineralization, supports the formation of soil aggregates and creates ideal conditions for mycorrhizae and beneficial microorganisms.

From the root to the tip
Scientific study results

In cooperation with the Murauer forest nursery and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, we tested the impressive effects of our water-retaining granulate on plant growth and biomass. The study shows how our hydrogel improves root and shoot development, shortens production time and promotes overall plant growth. Watch the video to see the benefits of the granules for plant health and efficiency.

Save up to 50% water

A practical field trial conducted by the renowned SGS Institut Fresenius in Spain in 2023 impressively demonstrated the effectiveness of Polygrain. The field trial with tomatoes proved that the application of approx. 2 g Polygrain per plant can save up to 50% of the water used. Although the months of August – November 2023 were hotter than average, no restrictions were observed in terms of the quality and quantity of the harvest.
