Tackifiers, mulch and seed for difficult revegetation work
Comagricola Green Europe has analysed and selected the best hydroseeding materials currently available worldwide, to guarantee a quality result at the lowest possible cost. The selection reflects the growing role that hydroseeding will play in future revegetation work.
The quality-to-cost ratio remains the critical factor when seeding large areas or slopes too steep for conventional methods: it is the variable that decides whether a contractor wins the job.
Comagricola Green Europe’s solution is a selection of the best tackifiers and wood-fibre or cellulose mulches, mixed in appropriate doses with certified Comagricola Green Europe seed. The seed mixtures come in a wide range of formulations and can be customised at the customer’s request.
WOOD FIBER MULCH
Ready-to-use, 100% biodegradable mulch
- Temporary erosion control (up to 6 months)
- Boosts germination
- Enhances overall performance
Description
WOOD FIBER MULCH is a 100% wood-fibre hydromulch for hydroseeding and erosion control. On application it forms a protective cover that stabilises the seed, creates a microclimate conducive to germination and improves uniformity and establishment. The fibres, produced from wood chips thermo-mechanically treated at 180 °C, are long, clean and sterile. The green pigmentation makes visual control of coverage easy and is non-toxic to animals and the environment. WOOD FIBER MULCH contains no tackifier: it must be mixed with a binder during tank preparation (e.g. VERDEMAX), with which it achieves water retention of up to 22 times (2,200%). The product comes in 17 kg bales (0.42 × 0.34 × 0.62 m); typical dilution is about 400 L of water with a paddle agitator, and functional longevity reaches up to 6 months, field-verified..
ACTION
-
-
Erosion protection: fibrous cover matrix that reduces raindrop impact energy (splash erosion) and surface runoff, increasing topsoil cohesion and keeping seeds in place at the point of sowing.
-
Germination boost: maintains a moist, stable microclimate; with a dedicated tackifier, water retention increases dramatically.
-
Precise application: green color ensures homogeneous distribution and instant visual control, with no toxic effects.

EURO-MAT F.G.M.
Ready-to-use mulch, 100% biodegradable.
- “Temporary” protection against erosion (> 6 <24 months)
- Germination accelerator
- Improving performance
Description
EURO-MAT FGM is a ready-to-use, 100% biodegradable blended mulch made of “PREMIUM” vegetable fibres (NFU 44-4551), with added stabilising agents, germination activators and growth enhancers. In hydroseeding, EURO-MAT F.G.M. outperforms mulches in the S.M.M. (Stabilized Mulch Matrix), B.F.M. (Bonded Fibre Matrix) and E.F.M. (Engineered Fiber Matrix) ranges.
ACTION
Hydro-mulch acts on three levels:
- Provides a “Temporary” Anti-Erosion Protection for the medium term (>6 months <24 months):This product acts like a real “barrier”, absorbing the impact energy of raindrops (the “splash” effect) whilst at the same time capturing rainwater from thunderstorms.
- Accelerates Germination: Its water retention capacity allows the seeds and seedlings to develop in a “controlled” environment where it concerns temperature and hydro stress. The presence of germination activators and growth enhancers allows for quick establishment of the green cover.
- Increases Performance Levels:Applied hydraulically through a Hydroseeder, this product does not need any specific jobsite preparation nor fixation systems.

HYDRO MULCH 100% Wood fibres
Vegetable fibre mixture (NFU 44-4551) specially designed for hydroseeding and hydro-mulching work
- “Temporary” protection against erosion (<6 months)
- Germination accelerator
- Improving performance
Description
HYDRO-MULCH “UE” is a compound of vegetable fibres (NFU 44-4551) specifically designed for hydroseeding and hydro-mulching work.
Made from “noble” prime materials, it biodegrades into the soil and is easily assimilated by vegetation.
ACTION
Hydro-mulch acts on three levels:
- “Temporary” protection against erosion (> 6): forms a “barrier” that absorbs the impact of rain (splash effect) and favours the flow of rainwater
- Germination accelerator: its water retention capacity allows the seeds to develop in a “controlled” environment where it concerns temperature and hydro stress, limiting temperature changes and evaporation.
- Increases performance levels: it improves the mixture with seeds, fertilisers and fixers by homogenising its distribution to the soil. It also protects the seeds by reducing the effects of friction during the passage through the pump of hydroseeding machinery.

PENNMULCH Seed Accelerator
Pelleted mulch adaptable to any type of soil
- Rapid growth of turf
- Better germination
- It ties the mulch to the seed
- Easy to apply
Description
PennMulch Seed Accelerator from LebanonTurf is a pelleted mulch composed of:
recycled newsprint, starter fertiliser, HydrobondTM Moisture Cell Technology® tackifier.
Adaptable to any soil type, PennMulch is ideal for establishing a thicker healthier lawn in one convenient application.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Faster turf establishment
After watering it, PennMulch will expand up to 3 times its original size allowing it to retain moisture and improve seed germination.
The presence of a Starter fertiliser provides the right nutrient supply to young seedlings. - Better germination
Moisture Cell technology, incorporated in each granule stores water to help prevent seedlings from drying out. - Blinds mulch and Seed
Hydrobond Tackifier creates a matrix of the mulch and seed to prevent movement during the critical time of seedling development.
Application instructions:
- Prepare the seed bed
- Spread the seed and lightly rake into the soil
- Deploy PennMulch
- For best results, irrigate after applying PennMulch, with 0.3 – 0.5cm of water.

VERDEFLEX
Soil binder and amendment
- Bonding & cohesion
- Hydration & establishment
- Operations & safety
Description
VERDEFLEX is a hydroseeding adhesive designed to work in combination with WOOD FIBER MULCH: it consolidates the applied layer by bonding the fibers together and anchoring them effectively to the soil. It increases the mulch’s water retention and supports germination; it also improves slurry flow in the tank, enhancing pumping and spray distance, and reduces dust emissions on stockpiles. The product is chemically inert and environmentally safe.
Packaging: 5 kg and 20 kg bags. Indicative rates: 5 kg/500 L, 20 kg/2,000 L, 40 kg/4,000 L, 80 kg/8,000 L. Shelf life:up to 2 years (store in a cool, dry place).

What is hydroseeding and how does it work
Hydroseeding is an agronomic technique for establishing grass cover: a mixture of seed, water, mulch, tackifiers and fertilisers is sprayed onto the soil under pressure by a hydroseeder.
The mixture bonds to sloping and hard-to-reach surfaces such as road and railway embankments, river banks and quarry areas.
The mulch protects the seed and retains moisture, while the tackifiers anchor the mixture to the substrate and counter surface erosion during establishment.
The result is uniform germination and a grass cover that stabilises the soil over time.
Comagricola Green Europe supplies the materials for professional hydroseeding: wood-fibre mulch, biodegradable pelleted mulch, tackifiers and selected seed.
Frequently asked questions about hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a revegetation technique in which a machine called a hydroseeder sprays a pressurised mixture of seed, water, mulch, tackifiers and fertilisers onto the soil. The mixture bonds to the ground and creates the conditions for uniform germination even where conventional seeding is impractical.
Hydroseeding is used on road and railway embankments, river banks, quarry faces and, in general, on steep or hard-to-reach surfaces. In these settings the technique delivers seed evenly and gives the soil temporary protection against erosion.
Hydroseeding requires seed selected for the soil and climate of the site, water, a plant-based or cellulose mulch, water-soluble tackifiers that bond the mixture to the substrate, and starter fertilisers. Comagricola Green Europe supplies these materials for professional hydroseeding, including wood-fibre mulch and pelleted mulch.
In hydroseeding, mulch protects the seed, retains moisture and absorbs the impact of raindrops on bare soil. This limits surface erosion and supports faster, more uniform germination, after which the mulch biodegrades into the soil.
