The Use of Wood Fiber for Reducing Risks of Hydrophobicity in Peat-Based Substrates
Peat substrates are well known to become hydrophobic during desiccation, thus degrading their water retention properties. Synthetic wetting agents are commonly incorporated to limit the risk of hydrophobicity, but substrates companies are searching for more sustainable alternatives. To that end, the...
