The function of the product, to be distributed over the soil, is to improve the water balance of young vine plants. It is a lignin-based dry brown granulate that absorbs and releases water, both rainwater and irrigation water, thereby increasing the water retention capacity of the soil thanks to an organic material.
The innovative aspects are the following:
- Use of waste material from the paper and wood industry (recycling action, typical of the circular economy);
- Replacement of similar absorbent materials that are synthetic, made from polyacrylates.
In summary, the jury selected this product as a sustainable approach to the issue of water management in viticulture, combining efficiency of use (minimising losses) with a regular, stress-free growth of young vine plants.
