The results are in! EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch proven to boost growth and water retention

When it comes to successful revegetation, the right soil solution makes all the difference.

That’s why EnviroStraw is committed to providing high-performance, scientifically backed products that deliver real results. The latest trials confirm what we’ve always known – EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch is a game-changer in soil stabilisation, water retention and plant growth.

Unmatched water retention for superior germination

Water is a vital factor in seed germination and plant establishment. In a trial by independent third party Landloch, where both qualitative measures and visual observations were used to compare the performance of EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch against a control treatment, the data shows that EnviroMatrix significantly reduces water loss compared to the control treatment.

  • 42% lower total water loss observed in ECM-treated soil.
  • Daily evaporation rates are reduced by up to 1.5 mm/day, helping soil maintain moisture longer.
  • Optimised water efficiency, ensuring seeds have the hydration they need for increased germination and strong, healthy growth.

With improved moisture retention, seeds experience more consistent and reliable germination rates, even in challenging conditions.

Faster, healthier plant growth

The trial demonstrated that ECM-treated areas produced 41% greater plant emergence compared to untreated soil. Additionally:

  • Plants in EM-treated plots showed 39% higher biomass accumulation.
  • Faster establishment times meant stronger root systems early in the growth cycle.
  • Improved soil conditions led to a 32% increase in plant survival rates, ensuring long-term revegetation success.

Why EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch outperforms traditional solutions

Traditional hydromulch applications often fall short in moisture retention and soil structure enhancement. EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch is scientifically formulated to:

  • Increase soil cohesion, reducing erosion and runoff.
  • Enhance microbial activity, creating a fertile environment for plant growth.
  • Deliver sustainable revegetation, supporting long-term soil health and stability.

Proven results for a sustainable future

At EnviroStraw, we believe in developing solutions that don’t just promise results – they prove them. These latest trial findings reinforce that EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch is the superior choice for land rehabilitation, construction sites and large-scale revegetation projects. If you’re looking to improve revegetation success rates, increase water efficiency and enhance soil performance, it’s time to choose EnviroMatrix ECM hydromulch.
