Professional products Sowing and pressed plugs Press RK-W
Professional fine-structure substrate for pressed plugs and seeding, all year round.
Press RK-W combines Baltic blonde peat and brown peat at 0–7 mm granulometry to ensure mechanical cohesion during pressing and consistent water retention — batch after batch, in every season.

Features
The prevalence of brown peat ensures mechanical cohesion during pressing. It also provides stable pH buffering and cation exchange capacity. Integrated dolomitic lime corrects the naturally acidic pH of peat to a range of 5.5–6.5. This range suits azaleas, camellias, blueberries, and other sensitive crops.
The PG Mix starter fertiliser supports the first growth phase. The wetting agent allows the plug to re-wet evenly after drying cycles. Press RK-W is developed for year-round use, with predictable behaviour batch after batch and across different seasonal conditions — fewer process adjustments for the grower.
Selected peat from the Baltic countries: consistently from the same fields, season after season, to guarantee quality continuity batch after batch.
