Description
ProGanics™ Biotic Soil Media™ (BSM™) is designed as an alternative to the epidermis that accelerates the development of poor soil/substrates with low organic content, low nutrient levels and limited biological activity. The product engineered Soil Media™ (ESM™) regains soil's full potential, establishes vegetation and acts as erosion protection. ProGanics is non-toxic, it contains bark and wood fibres that have been phytosanitically treated to eliminate weed seeds and pathogens before fertile soil ingredients intake.
ADVANTAGES OF THE PRODUCT
- suitable for application on slopes ≤ 2 : 1,
- establishment of fertile soil with low organic matter content (< 5 %),
- rapid establishment and sustainable growth of vegetation,
- alternative to expensive and difficult-to-supply epidermis,
- alternative to compost, peat, manure and other organic materials,
- usually applied under hydraulically applied products or erosion protection in rolls (HECP and RECP) as a growing basis.
APPLICATION
The product ProGanics™ is suitable for use on slopes ≤ 2 : 1. When applied to a slope/bank, polyacrylamide adhesive must be added to stabilise the product and seeds (seeds are not part of the product). The product is applied to the surface using a water sowing machine.

* At uniform application of 3900 kilograms/hectare under laboratory conditions. 1. Test methods according to ASTM developed for erosion protection agents in rolls modified for hydraulic erosion protection agents. 2. Surface coverage is calculated as the ratio of soil loss on treated surfaces compared to untreated control surfaces. 3. Percentage efficiency = 1 - Surface coverage * 100%. 4. Extensive testing was conducted at a research laboratory in Utah. For detailed testing information, contact a technical service representative of the company Profile at 800-508-8681 or +1-847-215-1144. 5. Efficacy values derived from ProMatrix Engineered Fiber Matrix (EFM) testing applied at a ratio of 3,900 kg/hectare to ProGanics at a ratio of 3,900 kg/hectare. 6. A list of metals included in the EPA 503 metal content limit test is available on request. 7. Heated for 5 minutes to a temperature greater than 193 degrees Celsius at a pressure greater than 345 kPa. In this way appropriate phytosanitary and thermal treatment are achieved.
