Natural protection against heat and drought

Climate change is becoming more noticeable: rising average temperatures, extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, prolonged hot and dry spells and decreasing rainfall in spring, summer and autumn. This has considerable consequences and new challenges for garden maintenance in particular. Many plants are increasingly suffering from drought and heat stress, while new diseases and pests can spread more easily.

The all-round biological concept COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT is COMPO's answer to changing requirements and consumer wishes. This new concept is being launched simultaneously in numerous European markets and offers natural protection during dry periods with a universal soil, a liquid universal fertiliser and a lawn fertiliser. Essential nutrients optimise the plants' water balance and prepare them optimally for heat stress and dry phases. At the same time, the innovative Aqua wood fibre in the soil makes a significant contribution to saving water by reducing water loss from the soil and reducing the plants' need for watering. All new products consist exclusively of ingredients that are suitable for organic farming. This is in line with COMPO's company-wide sustainability strategy and Green Leadership pledge. In addition, more and more consumers are consistently opting for organic products for garden and plant care.

The new, 100% peat-free COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT universal soil offers optimised nutrient supply for the best growth as well as natural protection against heat stress. With a high concentration of natural, wood-based water storage gel in organic quality, the aqua wood fibre ensures the best water retention capacity and thus lower water consumption. In 40 litres of COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT universal soil, for example, an additional 2.5 litres of water can be stored. Water loss, on the other hand, is very low - and ensures optimum support for the plant in hot and dry phases.

The new COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT lawn fertiliser has a dual action complex. It combines an immediate and long-term fertilising effect and, thanks to its sustainable depot effect, also provides natural protection during dry periods. To particularly strengthen the lawn's resistance and regulate the water balance, the organic-mineral fertiliser made from 100 per cent natural ingredients contains extra potassium plus magnesium. This sustainably strengthens the cell walls, allowing the plant to survive periods of drought better. The plant's water balance and water transport are regulated and improved. In addition, the lawn grasses are supplied with naturally occurring amino acids, which provide better and natural protection against stress factors such as drought. To achieve an optimum effect, it is advisable to use the fertiliser preventively.

The organic COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT universal fertiliser has a fertilising effect as well as a depot effect. When applied regularly, it prepares the plants optimally for heat and drought and improves the soil structure as well as water absorption. The high organic substance activates soil life. This allows the soil to store more water. This improves the supply of water to the plants during dry periods. As with COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT lawn fertiliser, an extra portion of potassium ensures an optimum water balance for the plant. With regular application, watering intervals can be extended - nothing stands in the way of a short holiday in hotter months. Natural amino acids additionally promote plant development and resistance, especially in the event of drought stress. Regular application of COMPO BIO AQUA DEPOT universal fertiliser is also ideal before the stress situation arises. However, application during the stress situation itself is also recommended.
