The effect of rockwool on physical properties of growing substrates for perennials
Original language description
The possibility of peat replacement by crushed water absorbent rockwool in growing substrates in amount of 35% vol. was verified in the experiment with perennials in containers. Three types of substrates, peat one, and two mixtures of peat with alternative components - green waste compost (25% vol.) or composted spruce bark (40% vol.) were compared. The addition of rockwool to the peat substrate increased content of air and easy available water, the plant growth was not affected. Plants grown in substrates with alternative organic components were smaller in comparison to peat substrate. The growth of perennials significantly decreased mainly in substrates with bark, but the plants had good market value. The addition of rockwool to these substrates hadno significant effect on the growth. Crushed rockwool in amount of 35% vol. can replace peat in peat substrates and in mixtures with alternative components.
