摘要

Water availability and pH are important factors to consider to determine the suitability of a material for use as a growing medium. Unfortunately, most horticultural substrates are characterized by their water repellency. This is the case with peat moss which is hydrophobic and acidic. Synthetic surfactants are required to improve its wettability. In this study, a combination of phosphorylated wood pulp fibers (FLP) and zeolite is proposed as a substitute to surfactants to increase the wettability of peat moss in the presence of lime, an additive generally used as fertilizer or pH regulator. Results show that lime reduces the water retention capacity of FLP. However, the addition of 15% zeolite to the peat moss/FLP system increases the pH and water retention of the substrate. The negative effect of the presence of 1 wt. % lime on the water retention of the peat moss/FLP mixture was corrected by zeolite addition. Optimal conditions were obtained at 10% zeolite for the two types of lime tested with favorable pH and water retention capacity values. Zeolite was shown to have a higher affinity than FLP for calcium ions preventing the detrimental interaction between FLP and calcium ions.
