In soilless cultivation, the choice of substrate is crucial. It must exhibit strong chemical stability and be free from toxic substances to minimize interference with the nutrient solution. This ensures a balanced nutrient environment, simplifies management, and supports healthy crop growth. The chemical stability of the substrate largely depends on its composition. Substrates made from organic materials like peat, sawdust, rice husks, and bagasse have complex chemical structures that can significantly affect the nutrient solution. Fresh plant residues, such as straw, unprocessed bark, or partially decomposed bagasse, often contain easily degradable organic matter and potentially harmful compounds. When first used, these materials can trigger intense microbial activity, leading to major biochemical changes that disrupt the nutrient balance and even harm plant roots.
However, by using a starter, these organic components can be broken down into more stable forms like lignin and humus, ensuring long-term stability for soilless culture. So, is there a professional solution for this? Yes—Kinbago Matrix Fermentation Aid is specifically designed for soilless cultivation needs. It excels in fermenting bark, sawdust, and bagasse, reducing fermentation time significantly, minimizing nutrient loss, preventing root burn, and balancing nutrients effectively. It's eco-friendly, safe, and promotes healthier plant growth.
Compared to traditional natural fermentation methods, which can take one to two years for sawdust or bark, or several months for manure, the results are often inconsistent, with uneven maturity and significant nutrient loss. With Kinbago’s fermentation aid, the process takes only about three weeks. The final product has a dark brown or black color, a pleasant scent (free from manure or waste odors), and is rich in nutrients. It’s widely used in green substrates, green roofs, golf courses, and in the treatment of park debris like leaves and branches.
Beyond environmental benefits, it also offers impressive economic returns, often increasing value several times over. Using this aid not only improves the quality of the growing medium but also makes the entire process more efficient and sustainable.
