Biological and completely biodegradable hydrogel made from 100% wood.

With Retentis®, GEFA is ushering in a new era in the field of soil improvement and water management in landscaping and all types of plantings. Retentis is 100% biological and completely biodegradable, listed by FiBL and certified organic.

The essential function of this innovative absorber is to increase the water holding capacity of the soil, improve organic matter, and enhance soil fertility. The application of Retentis® not only provides effective protection against drought but also enables the sustainable conversion of unproductive soils into fertile cultivation areas. This now allows plantings to be protected from drought stress, where known synthetic hydrogels and water-retaining mixed products could not be used.

Due to its biological composition, Retentis® is particularly environmentally friendly, thus also providing a pioneering alternative for gardening and landscaping. The hydrogel, derived 100% from lignin (wood), stores water during rainy periods or during intended watering sessions and releases it continuously to the plants during dry periods. This innovative approach not only leads to effective water retention in the soil but also supports moisture retention and stress-free plant development.

At the same time, Retentis® is capable of transforming infertile soils, including sandy substrates, into fertile cultivation areas. Active in the soil for a minimum of 3-5 years, the granules subsequently decompose into humus—a crucial step to increase organic matter in the soil and thus lay the foundation for long-term healthy plant growth.

Advantages of Retentis®:

- The first durable and biological hydrogel made from 100% wood: Retentis® relies on a completely natural composition that is not only effective but also environmentally friendly.

- Active for at least 3-5 years, depending on soil type: Retentis® offers long-lasting effectiveness, ensuring sustainable soil improvement over multiple growing seasons.

- Increase in soil water holding capacity: The hydrogel maximizes the soil's water storage capacity, which is particularly crucial during dry periods.

- Protects trees and plants from drought stress: Retentis® forms a water reservoir in the soil, preserving plants from water shortage and drought.

- Decomposes into humus, enhancing soil fertility: The transition from Retentis® to humus not only promotes soil fertility but also the formation of a sustainable ecosystem in the soil.

- Transformation of infertile soils, including sand, into fertile soils: By converting sandy soils into fertile cultivation areas, Retentis® also opens up new opportunities for agriculture and horticulture.

- Absorption of fertilizers/nutrients, storage, and slow release to plants: Retentis® acts as an efficient carrier of fertilizers and nutrients, which are then slowly released to the plants to ensure sustainable nutrient supply.

- Prevention of rapid leaching of fertilizers: By controlling the release of fertilizers, Retentis® helps prevent overfertilization and enables efficient nutrient utilization.

- Reduction of costs for water, fertilizers, irrigation, and labor: Retentis can be used alone or in combination with any form of irrigation, reducing water consumption and decreasing energy and labor costs. Retentis helps save up to 40% of water by reducing the frequency of irrigation.

- Approved for conventional and organic farming without restrictions: Retentis® is a versatile solution that can be used in all plantings as well as in both conventional and organic farming.

Overall, Retentis® represents a groundbreaking solution for sustainable soil management and opens up new perspectives for urban plantings in gardening and landscaping, including compliance with ecological standards.
