Torfersatz bei Jungpflanzenerden ist möglich!
Bislang hieß es, Torfersatz wäre für die Jungpflanzenanzucht nicht möglich. In einem 2007 abgeschlossenen Projekt konnte jedoch am Forschungsring ein Torfersatzstoff entwickelt werden, der eine Arbeit mit reduzierten Torfgehalten auch für Biopresserden ermöglicht.
