WHAT IS THE WATER RETAINER®?
The Water Retainer is an organic soil-conditioning product. Generally, its effects last 3 months, during which period – pending appropriate application of the Water Retainer – the soil’s water retainment ability is substantially increased. Applying this excellent ability in the developmental stage of our plants, the benefits in better root development and better hydration will last for the whole cultivation period.
This also means substantially lower drought damages. The plants can survive twice the time in extreme drought conditions without serious damage, alleviating yield losses, while the lower stress level will show itself in better yield results.
The Water Retainer also reduces changes to soil condition caused by drought, which has numerous detrimental effects. Dried out soil might turn water repellent, reducing water uptake from rainfall, which in turn increases the chance of soil panning and it turning airless, resulting in less utilizable water for our plants, causing an overall yield loss. The detrimental effects may be felt for years. Thanks to the Water Retainer, the treated soil is able to additionally trap air humidity during high moisture periods (dawn or night vapour formation). Soil with ideal water content also means long term benefits in farming. Irrigation water consumption may be reduced, since the Water Retainer reduces evaporation and stops water trickling deeper than ideal, trapping water in the top soil laye.
WHAT WE ARE PROUD OF
A XXIII. Alföldi Állattenyésztési és Mezőgazda Napok keretében meghirdetett „MAGYAR NÖVÉNYTERMESZTÉSÉRT TERMÉKDÍJ PÁLYÁZAT 2016” nagydíját a Water Retainer (VízŐr®) nyerte el a magyarországi forgalmazó Alpha-Vet kft. által benyújtott pályázat alapján. Az indoklás szerint a pályázat a szélsőségessé vált klíma kárainak enyhítését lehetővé tevő új terméket mutat be, törekszik a talaj fizikai, biológiai kondíciójának javítására, a növények ellenálló-képességének megtartására nehéz körülmények között. Mint hangsúlyozták, amellett, hogy újdonság, magyar ötletből, magyar alapanyagokból készült magyar termék. A két éve forgalomban lévő Water Retainer (Vízőr®) a talajnedvesség megtartására alkalmas, párolgáscsökkentő készítmény, fokozza a műtrágya-hasznosulást, csökkenthető az öntözővíz-felhasználás, valamint elősegíti az aszály hosszabb ideig történő átvészelést.
IN ACTION
Vegetables, Horticulture & Professional gardening
Parks are not only important meeting and recreational spaces of our cities, towns and resorts. They are also the lungs of our habitats. For them to function well they need careful maintenance.
If you work in agriculture you know how important healthy soil and water balance are in providing stable yields. With shifts in our climate extreme weather conditions and events become more and more common. This threatens yields, increases risks to crops.
It’s such a great pleasure to have something green around. Growing Your own herbs or tomato on the balcony or in the backyard is great and fulfilling pastime which is even more rewarding once You start tasting what You grew.
