The shift to peat-reduced and peat-free substrates is a growing priority for horticulture worldwide. However, transitioning to alternative raw materials requires technical expertise and careful adaptation. Klasmann-Deilmann supports growers through this process with a dedicated international team of technical consultants.
"Our recommendation is to always make the change gradually and not to go straight from 100% peat to 100% alternatives," explains Anja Fritzen, Team Leader of Technical Consulting. "This step-by-step approach ensures a smooth transition."

A gradual transition minimizes risks associated with altered water retention, nutrient availability, and physical substrate properties. Klasmann-Deilmann works closely with growers to assess the impact of these changes on specific crops and adjust fertilization strategies accordingly.
By providing on-site analysis, customized fertilization and irrigation strategies, and ongoing training, Klasmann-Deilmann ensures that growers can maintain crop security while adapting to more sustainable cultivation methods.
With the Advanced Substrate range, nurseries already have reliable, proven substrate options that integrate alternative raw materials without compromising performance.
