Hydro-seeding, straw biomats, jute, coconut, etc. or Viresco?

The comparison!

The pre-sown soil erosion matting simplifies the turf grass creation and guarantees an effective erosion control in a very short period.

In the case of non-pre-sown biomats, it is necessary to spread the seeds below, before laying or above, after laying, or to carry out hydroseeding.

With Viresco it is not necessary to use biodegradable anti-erosive nets. The Viresco pre-seeded biotextile simplifies the settlement of the lawn and the revegetation of the slopes and guarantees immediate erosion control in a single operational phase with great effectiveness and lower costs.

Erosion Control and Vegetation Establishment in ONE SINGLE STEP!

Discover the advantages of VIRESCO compared with the traditional grass covering and soil erosion prevention systems.

The Advantages respect to hydroseeding

Discover the advantages of VIRESCO compared with the traditional grass covering and soil erosion prevention systems.
Hydroseeding
Viresco
Surface stabilisation function
After the grass turf development
At the time when the biotextile is laid down
External agents action (extreme rains and massive irrigations)
It can compromise the implementation positive outcome
It can resist to any atmospheric event without losing the seeds
Applications in places difficult to reach
The use of hose extensions or mobile platforms is required
Light and easy to carry anywhere
Laying method
It requires specialised manpower
Anyone can do it in an easy and fast way
Small areas implementations
Too expensive
Always suitable and affordable
Attacks by birds and insects
In several conditions (e.g. landfills) they can eat the seeds
The seeds are well protected and remain longer in the biotextile weft
Chemical or physical residues
It requires the application of glues and chemical products
Fully biodegradable
Implementations on very steep surfaces
Hydromulching is necessary and/or at least two applications
No additional features required. Lower implementation costs
Visual impact
You need to wait for the grass growth or you can use additional aesthetic products
The biotextile comes in green colour so improves immediately the surface to be covered
Erosion control on very steep slopes
It should be coupled with a mat, usually an erosion control jute net
Using just a single product cuts the costs

Advantages of Viresco compared with traditional blankets

Traditional mats
Viresco®
Carriage methods
Thick, stiff and heavy
Light and easy to carry
Laying method
They must be fastened to the soil with several strong anchoring means
It needs just watering or a small amount of pegs
Handling stage
The seeds tend to move or leak
It keeps seeds and fertilizers firmly in place in every situation
Surface run-offs and scouring events
Erosion due to the formation of underlying cavities, because of the stiffness and high thickness
Harmless thanks to the power of Viresco to adhere firmly to the ground as a protective film
The plants can put down roots and grow uniformly
This is often obstructed by the mats high thickness
Viresco guarantees an excellent cover uniformity
Soil Sowing
It is necessary to provide for the sowing on the soil below, before the installation, or above the blanket after the installation, or perform an hydro-seeding.
Everything happens in a single operational phase, with great efficiency and lower costs

The pre-sown biotextile Viresco

All seed mixtures used are designed according to the customer’s needs, environmental conditions, climate period, and maintenance possibilities.All the essences are selected high-quality varieties with low growth habit to limit the required cuts.
