Terraseed - Advancing crop technology
 
 
 
Terraseed® patented systems have been developed to help tree seedling growers significantly improve quality and productivity, thereby also reducing costs.

Key issues facing seedling tree and ornamental growers include:
  • Cost and environmental impact of soil sterilization and gritting treatments.
     
  • Cost and lack of reliable labour for transplanting and weed control
     
  • Cost of specialist machinery for seeding, planting and weed control
     

  • Reduces the time taken to grow some seedling, including birch, by 50%
     
  • Replaces soil sterilisation for weed control
     
  • Eliminates the need for gritting and specialist machinery
     
  • Minimises water requirement for irrigation
     
 
Pine Seedlings

 
Undercut birch crop ready for harvest
Terraseed Arbor™ is currently recommended for the following tree species:
  • Birch
  • Pine
  • Alder
  • Spruce
 
 
Please contact us for updates and advice if you are interested in tree species not listed above.

Terraseed Arbor™ also controls annual weeds and reduces irrigation demand.

Terraseed Arbor™

  • After laying some crops including birch, becomes sensitive to high temperatures during germination. It may be necessary to cool Terraseed Arbor™ with small amounts of water applied regularly during establishment.
     
  • Begins to breakdown during the autumn after laying and does not impede undercutting or top lifting. The remains are degradable and can safely be incorporated into the soil after harvest.

Terraseed Arbor™ is supplied in rolls that are 1.5m wide and up to 200m long with a maximum of 6 rows.
