Futerra Growth Establishment

Four black mesh samples with Futerra labels are displayed on a white background. Each sample shows a different mesh pattern and texture, illustrating various erosion control matting options.

Futerra® blankets have been proven to deliver the fastest germination. Comparative growth establishment data derived from standard test methods ASTM D1117–Water Absorption and ASTM D7322–Growth Establishment, verified clear agronomic superiority of Futerra® F4 Netless® and EnviroNet® over stitch-bonded straw and excelsior blankets.

Bar chart comparing water absorption and growth establishment improvements for Straw, Excelsior, F4 Netless, and EnviroNet blankets. EnviroNet shows the highest values in both categories.
