Terraform ™ Plant Establisher
Terraform ™ Plant Establisher
Successful planting for growing profit
If you mean business, and plants are your business, don’t risk poor growth through ineffective planting.
Terraform™ Plant Establisher from ASSETS takes the guesswork out of blending individual ingredients to deliver a powerful, all-in-one triple-action performance. An absolute must have solution for landscape contractors and large-scale revegetation works, TerraForm™ Plant Establisher is a unique solution specifically formulated for Australian soil conditions.
Proven to increase the rate at which plants establish in new growing environments, TerraForm™ Plant Establisher provides the essential growth enhancers needed to create healthy, thriving flora for newly planted environments.
Blended with a perfectly balanced combination of Saturaid™, Polyacrylamides and nutrients, TerraForm™ Plant Establisher provides the foundation ingredients essential for strong, thriving flora. It promotes root dispersion in any environment and is particularly suited to incorporation with the soil.
Applied for the benefit of newly planted trees and vines, under turf, and as a blended starter in the media in pot culture, TerraForm™ Plant Establisher is ideal for a variety of horticultural situations. Importantly, TerraForm™ Plant Establisher helps reduce expensive planting failures that cost your business time and money. Every plant lost attracts more than double the original cost to replace, meaning less profitability in your business.
Increase your volumes, reduce your losses, get faster results and do better business with TerraForm™ Plant Establisher, only from ASSETS. Growing beautiful plants is an art and getting the best results from every square metre of soil is a science, so call us today to speak to our Soil Scientist – Richard McKenzie for your consultation.
Essential Ingredients
Soil wetting agent
This is not ‘just a detergent’ and is not the same as an additive to an herbicide spray tank! The benefit of the wetting agent during plant establishment phase is immeasurable.
SaturaidTM is included in the Terraform™ Plant Establisher formulation to provide the following benefits.
- Carefully selected on the basis of efficacy balanced by low phytotoxicity Saturaid is a safe product to use
- Reduced hydrophobicity (water repellency) and more uniform moisture distribution. In turn this ensures that the water crystals (polyacrylamide) return their maximum value as water storage satellites throughout the profile.
- Resolving Interface problems. The interface between the introduced plant (growing in a soiless media) and the soil generally has incompatibility issues known as root interface problems. SaturaidTM will effectively combat these issues allowing rapid root development.
- Increased efficiency of water and nutrients uptake Both water & nutrient dispersion throughout the profile is improved.
Polyacrylamides
These hydrophilic polymers provide an additional water reservoir from which the plants can draw moisture.
Polyacrylamides are especially beneficial in sandy soils and where moisture supplies are erratic. Water crystals are not a substitute for irrigation during the establishment phase but may assist in reduced frequency of watering (greater intervals between watering).
Nutrients
A carefully balanced blend of nutrients is supplied to the establishing plant. The nitrogen source will disperse slowly over a 2-3 month period and will minimise the risk of deficiency in the early stages of plant development. Subsequent to successful establishment the plant should ideally be fed with a controlled release fertiliser to give continued growth performance for the first 2-3 seasons.w

Note: For the best results with TerraformTM Plant Establisher, ensure that it is thoroughly mixed with the backfill soil or media around the planting hole. The planting hole should ideally have a volume of twice the diameter of the original container size of the plant. If the product is not incorporated (i.e. very small tubes and cells) it is essential not to apply excessive product beneath the plant.
APPLICATION RATES
1.0-1.5 grams of Terraform incorporated per litre of backfill soil or blended with growing media. (1-1.5kg per cubic metre) Adjust rate for soil type using higher rates for coarse, sandy textures soils and the lower rates for finer clay soils.
TURF
High: 100-150gm per m2 incorporated to a depth of 20cm prior to establishment
Low: 50-75 gm per m2 incorporated to a depth of 10cm prior to establishment
TREES & SHRUBS
1.0-1.5KG per cubic metre of soil used as the backfill media in the planting hole thoroughly mixed.
FORESTRY & VEGETATION STOCK TUBES
For small 50mm diameter tubes apply sparingly as a “pinch”- using no more than (1-2gms) beneath the plant.
100mm forestry tubes- 100mm pots apply one teaspoon <5gm beneath each plant.
