Peat is a product of swamp development, which is the lowest coalification coal (the most primitive state of coal) and is organic matter.

According to different types of plant residues, it can be divided into three major types: herbaceous peat, woody peat and moss peat.

It composed of different substances will have different physical and chemical properties.

Basically, it is rich in various elements such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, manganese, and is a pure natural organic substance.

It is a sterile, non-toxic, pollution-free, pollution-free, and residue free green substance.

The appications of Peat are as follows:

1. Fuel: it is mainly used as fuel for daily life.

2. Wine making: In the process of producing “Scotch whisky” in Scotland, “peat” is extensively used to roast sprouted barley (giving it a unique smoky flavor), which has become a flavor characteristic of “Scotch whisky”.

3. Planting: Peat, with its rich nutritional content, is very beneficial for plants, so it is widely used for building lawns, golf courses, football fields, tennis courts, green fields, grassland gardens, and planting flowers.

The various types of sites mentioned above often require special treatment of the soil before planting.

Due to the excellent drainage function of “grass charcoal” and its long fertilizer effect, it can promote the growth of underground root systems and achieve the effect of color correction and strong plants.

Therefore, it has a fundamental improvement effect on the “planting layer” of soil, which greatly helps with the growth, care, and maintenance of lawns in the later stage.

4. Architecture: Especially when it comes to building rooftop gardens, “peat” is the only option (as its dry and wet weight are only 20% and 30% of ordinary soil, respectively, and it contains rich nutrients).

Generally, a mixed soil is made by using a ratio of 2 parts of ordinary soil to 1 part of it to construct a rooftop garden.

This can reduce the weight of the soil base by 20% to 30%, and improve its permeability and nutrient structure.

5. Potted plant: “Grass charcoal” has become a high-end flower production and cultivation in current greenhouse potted plants.

The ideal substrate material for potted plant cultivation is 30% to 70% “peat” mixed with appropriate amounts of vermiculite, perlite and other materials (orchids, rhododendrons, gentleman’s orchids and other flowers can be directly cultivated with 100% “peat”).

6. Seedling cultivation: The seedling cultivation process of flowers and vegetables can use “peat” as the medium material and matrix structure to cultivate seedlings, which can greatly improve the germination rate of seeds and enhance the development quality and survival rate of seedlings.

7. Raw materials: “Grass charcoal” is the main additive raw material for organic-inorganic fertilizers, and is also an essential raw material for producing high-quality flower nutrient soil, seedling bed soil, factory seedling cultivation (soilless cultivation), and export potted flower base soil.

Due to the fact that “peat” itself is already a pollution-free green fertilizer, various types of bio bacterial fertilizers and high-efficiency organic-inorganic compound fertilizers produced from it have the advantages of long-term, pollution-free, pollution-free, and residue free.

It is currently an ideal fertilizer for promoting the construction of a “green ecological” agricultural environment in China.

8. Improving soil: For soils that are used for planting flowers, grass, or other crops, if there are signs of compaction, hardening, etc., adding an appropriate amount of “peat” can restore and improve the soil’s ability to hold water, ventilate, and retain nutrients.

It can also increase nutrient content, thereby improving product quality and achieving better economic benefits.

Advantages and Features of peat

• Peat has irreplaceable characteristics and advantages over other mineral resources. The organic matter content of it is as high as 90% -95%, which is 2-3 times higher than that of commercial organic fertilizers and livestock manure.

It contains 30% -60% humic acid, which is 6-20 times higher than the humic acid content in commercial organic fertilizers and livestock manure.

It is the best soil improvement material among existing agricultural inputs.

It is the best substrate preparation material in the world, with high aeration, permeability, large buffering capacity, and strong water and fertilizer retention ability.

It is an essential basic material for seedling production and substrate cultivation.

• Peat is free of bacteria, insect eggs, grass seeds, hormones, antibiotics, and does not spread diseases, pests, or weeds.

It is a truly natural, green, healthy, and organic agricultural input without any environmental burden.

• Peat has a light bulk density, high compression ratio, low transportation cost, and is convenient for long-distance transportation.

It has stable grade, soft structure, affordable price, easy commercial processing, and is easy to achieve mechanized, automated, and digital production.

 

Market demand 

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has clearly put forward the strategies of green agriculture and quality agriculture, actively promoting agricultural technological innovation and input technology progress, promoting the development of factory agriculture, strengthening soil environment restoration, and thus forming a significant demand for peat products.

According to the development of factory agriculture, restoration of degraded farmland, construction of sponge cities, and restoration of abandoned mines in China, the total demand for peat in China can reach up to 300 million cubic meters per year, and the processing and sales of it can create an output value of 500 billion yuan.

The promotion and application of peat products can lead to an additional output value of 25 trillion yuan in related industries such as factory agriculture and ecological environment restoration, effectively promoting domestic economic circulation and forming a new economic growth point.
