Hydromulching

Hydromulching and hydroseeding are the terms terminologically expressing the same action and the names given to the process of planting vegetable seeds with an aqueous mixture (also called “slurry”) formed in a tank.

Hydroseeding, first emerged in the1940s with the idea of spraying a mixture that could form a vegetative cover to prevent erosion in the areas on the sides of highways in America. Later, its usage areas and technology have improved considerably. Hydromulching is the spraying of a water-based slurry, consisting of a combination of seeds, mulch, fertilizer and other materials needed by the soil, to the application area.

Hydroseeding mulches consists a simpler fibrous material while the fibrous material used in hydromulching mulches, has gone through different processes during the production phase to provide superior properties such as higher water holding capacity. Bio degradability times in nature are longer (18 months and above) in Hydromulching mulches, so erosion control is superior. Compared to the Hydroseeding application, Hydromulching can be applied on steeper slopes, on soils with poor physical and chemical properties.
It can be applied in various transportation projects, mine sites, quarries, solid waste storage areas, sports fields that requires special application, natural areas that have been degraded by various effects. The pH and salinity of the water used in the mixture should be clean and suitable for irrigation.

There is also a binder (stabilizer, adhesive) in the mixture, which increases the viscosity, allowing it to be sprayed to a greater distance, keeping the slurry homogeneous and better adhering to the soil surface. * You can see the soil stabilizer among our products.
Another substance in the mixture is a soil conditioner that accelerates germination and strengthens root development. * You can see the soil conditioner among our products.
