"Our system is revolutionizing sowing and seedling growth management with significant improvements. With an increase in productivity of up to 30%," says Federico Federici di Gorzone, Production Manager of Riza Power, part of the Green Capital Group company.
"Our spongy clay," says the manager, "is made in Italy from a mixture of high-quality raw materials: noble peat, coconut and perlite. These are mixed with a special cross-linking substance that keeps the structure compact, resulting in a high overall porosity and excellent water retention. This ensures ideal conditions for seed germination and rooting of all types of cuttings."
RizaPower, thanks to its special structure, provides the right air supply, internal moisture and support for the cutting. "These characteristics also allow the cuttings to root 30% faster than in traditionally used systems, resulting in a significant increase in productivity as well as greater uniformity of cultivation. In addition, the increased root development allows mechanical transplanting without the risk of stressing the plant," Federici continues.
Its biodegradability allows it to be used in trays and transplanted in pots or open fields, eliminating forever the need to use nets, non-wovens and other mixed materials that are difficult to recover after use.
The manager adds: "There are other advantages to our system. There is less water stagnation because the porous structure eliminates water stress. This results in fewer phytosanitary problems and reduced costs for defensive treatments. There is a balance between air and water, resulting in shorter production times. The yield in terms of number of plants per square meter is increased due to the high survival rate of the cuttings compared to traditional seeding systems. The problems of asphyxiation due to peat compaction, which sometimes occur in other rooting systems, are eliminated."
Another advantage is that the hole for the cuttings is already made in the production process, so that they can be easily inserted without breaking the root system. "Finally," concludes Federici, "there is the use of recyclable plastic containers specifically designed to promote the development of the plant's root system."
