Tree seedlings production

Reduce production time of tree seedlings by up to 6 times.

In the nursery

A few WaterPearls per seedling — cutting pine production time to six months.

Up to 25–50% of irrigation water is lost to evaporation — UN FAO

How it works

A few WaterPearls per seedling.

A few WaterPearls are added on top of the soil of each seedling, replacing granular silica.

WaterPearls protect seedlings during transportation by keeping the soil moist.

WaterPearls can be used as tags in the field for MRV.

Performance

Pine seedlings can be produced in 6 months by:

Reducing abiotic stress (stabilizing the soil humidity level) of the tree seedlings
Shifting evaporation from the soil to transpiration from the plant, stimulating photosynthesis and thus biomass production — the tree seedling is growing faster
Promoting a healthy biota of soil for maximum nutrient uptake
Reduce water input by up to 50%
Reduce nutrient input by maximizing nutrient use efficiency
