Product Sheet OASIS® Grower Solutions Stabilized Media Easy and Ready-to-Stick Propagation Media for young plant production Fertiss® is a ready-to-use plug, in trays with a consistent and even soilless cutting and seed propagation media blend. Fertiss® is uniquely designed to help keep production costs low while producing healthy, vigorous young plants. These specially “wrapped” media plugs are available in a range of sizes and tray configurations to suit a wide variety of plant types. Fertiss® medium has been trialed extensively with highly successful performance on vegetative annuals and perennials, woody ornamentals, silviculture, tissue culture, and germination of seeds. The Fertiss® media mix is composed of a special blend of long-fiber sphagnum peat moss, perlite and vermiculite that is bound by a cellulose non-woven net. As cuttings take root, the lightweight fabric allows for root penetration to the outside air. Once primary roots have penetrated the webbing into the air gap, the natural “air pruning” takes place and promotes dense secondary roots. This air pruning process helps to reduce root spiraling in the plug and speed up the establishment of plants after transplanting. The Fertiss® tray design also makes sorting and grading of rooted plugs very easy. The shape and consistency of the plugs help make potting easy, whether manually or with automatic transplanters.
