Éra Aqua:
Turn Your Hydrophobic Substrates into Uniformly Moist Growing Media
Éra Aqua is a high-efficiency biodegradable non-ionic wetting agent. Formulated with biodegradable surfactants, it renders hydrophobic substrates (rockwool, peat, coco fibre) uniformly hydrophilic. This promotes even water retention and vigorous root development from the start.
Who It's
For Soilless greenhouse crops (rockwool, peat, coco coir), natural soil crops, turf. Particularly recommended in combination with Éra Boost Pro and Éra Prevent.
Key Benefits
✓ Uniform wetting of hydrophobic substrates for homogeneous root development
✓ Improved water retention (reduced losses to the water table)
✓ Stimulation of beneficial bacterial biofilm around roots
✓ Improved substrate and soil oxygenation
✓ Direct compatibility with Éra Boost Pro and Éra Prevent
Mode of Action
Action on Hydrophobic Substrates
Ulysse Biotech is a biotechnology SME founded in 2014 in Trois-Rivières. We develop microbial solutions for plant health and greenhouse sanitation.
Synergy with Biostimulants
By improving substrate moisture and structure, Éra Aqua creates optimal conditions for Bacillus spore germination and the establishment of Éra Boost Pro and Éra N-Fix microbial consortia.
