SEED & SORB® Lawn seeds

Very high demands are placed on lawns in terms of load, care needs and appearance. In addition, there are sometimes difficult climatic and local conditions: wind swirls the seeds, an inadequate water supply and slightly permeable soil allow seeds that have just germinated to dry out.

Bare seeds must be invested in care, watering and fertilizer to ensure a satisfactory result.

Water in the coat

Coated seeds with water storage

GEFA Fabritz has developed the coated seed range SEED & SORB® with XXL water storage. The from SEED & SORB® seeds, encased in a coat of nutrients and STOCKOSORB®, absorb more moisture than conventional naked seeds and make it available for the young seedling. This is primarily thanks to the effective water storage system STOCKOSORB®. It ensures that plant-available water is stored in the coat. In addition, there is an increased absorption of nutrients guaranteed. The applied lawn seeds absorb the moisture from its surroundings (irrigation, Soil moisture, dew moisture) and is increasingly able to see this moisture through the absorber to tie.

Reduce effort

The higher weight of the SEED & SORB® seeds makes machine and manual sowing much easier. Gusts of wind do not affect the seeding pattern. The increased weight (due to Coat and increased moisture content) improves soil contact. The sward becomes thicker and better rooted.

This excellent starter supply can increase seed emergence by up to 50% compared to conventional lawn seeds. This significantly reduces the application rate. At the same time, the eye-catching red color of the coat makes the sowing pattern very good detect.

Test results

SEED & SORB® Test results

As part of a greenhouse experiment, both SEED & SORB® and conventional seeds were germinated in the quartz sand. In this series of tests, the seeds were exposed to extreme climatic conditions such as water stress, high temperatures and strong sunlight, in order to observe in particular the growth behavior after germination.

From the ninth day, the increase in length of both parts was determined. The conventional, untreated seeds could not withstand the extreme climatic conditions, dried up and died. SEED & SORB® was able to store the small amount of moisture better and thus withstood the extreme conditions.

Mycorrhiza for grass
Mycorrhiza for grass

GSS mycorrhiza for lawns Let your lawns become even greener and more durable with the special GEFA mycorrhiza for lawns. The fast-acting mycorrhizal fungi enlarge the root surface of grasses and thus convey more important nutrients and water to the lawn plants than would otherwise be the case. For this they get sugars from the grasses. This creates a community that has an extremely positive effect on the lawns.

Application rate: 20 ml / m²

SEED & SORB® Coated Seed

COATED SEED WITH WATER STORAGE

The SEED & SORB® seeds, surrounded by a coating of nutrients and STOCKOSORB®, absorb more moisture than conventional bare seeds and make it available to the young seedling. This is primarily thanks to the effective water storage provided by STOCKOSORB®. It ensures that water is stored in the coating in a plant-available form. Additionally, it guarantees enhanced nutrient absorption. The applied grass seed absorbs moisture from its surroundings (irrigation, soil moisture, dew) and is more effectively able to retain this moisture thanks to the absorber.

REDUCING EFFORT

The increased weight of SEED & SORB® seeds makes both mechanical and manual sowing significantly easier. Wind gusts do not affect the sowing pattern. The increased weight (due to the coating and higher moisture content) improves soil contact. The grass sod becomes denser and better rooted. This excellent initial supply can increase seed germination by up to 50% compared to conventional seeds. As a result, the amount of seed required is reduced. At the same time, the noticeable red color of the coating makes the sowing pattern highly visible.

Easy Sowing

Even distribution and good soil contact due to increased weight.

Better Germination

Fewer failures, high area performance, and faster germination due to the STOCKOSORB® water storage and nutrient supply.

Less Loss

Due to the nutrient-based coloring, the seed is less appealing to birds.

SUPPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS

For optimal lawn care, supplementary products such as Fabroton® Grass and Mycorrhiza Grass provide a comprehensive solution. Fabroton® Grass improves soil quality and reduces irrigation needs. Mycorrhiza Grass promotes strong root development through symbiosis with fungi, enhancing nutrient uptake and the lawn's resilience. Both products support healthy and durable grass.

 

FABROTON® GRASS

FABROTON® GRASS is designed to improve soil quality for heavily used lawn areas such as sports fields, golf courses, and gardens. It uses STOCKOSORB®, a water-retaining potassium homopolymer that can reduce irrigation needs by up to 60%. Recycled phosphate ensures sustainable nutrient supply and promotes stronger root development. Lava granules improve soil structure and aeration, supporting plant growth. The dry granule mixture should be evenly applied and incorporated during dry weather to achieve optimal results.

Mycorrhiza for Lawns

GEFA Endo-Mycorrhiza inoculant for lawns supports the grass in areas such as drought, nutrient deficiencies, and pollutant stress. All mycorrhiza inoculants contain Bacillus cultures in a balanced proportion. Let your lawns become greener and more durable. The fast-acting mycorrhizal fungi enlarge the root surface of grasses, thereby transferring more essential nutrients and water to the grass plants than would otherwise be the case. In return, the grasses provide sugars to the fungi. This creates a symbiotic relationship that has an extremely positive effect on the lawn.
