Summary in the original language of the document
I prosjektet Woolly Pot, å redusere plastforbruk i norske gartnerier, prøvde NORSØK ut ulike ullpotter, hovedsakelig potter for bruk til oppal av småplanter. I forsøkene ble salat, brokkoli og squash alet opp i potter tilpasset plantearten (pluggpotter til salat og brokkoli og større plantepotter til squash). Oppalsplantene ble plantet ut i ullpottene og sammenlignet med planter alet opp i plastpotter og plantet ut uten potte. Planteutvikling og nedbrytning av ullpottene ble registrert. For alle plantene i ullpotter var det dårligere rotutvikling og derved dårlig eller forsinket planteutvikling. For ullpotter tenkt til oppal, er det nødvendig å videreutvikle potter som er formstabile i oppalet samtidig som de brytes så raskt ned etter utplanting at de ikke hemmer planteutvikling. I tillegg ble det utført et par mindre tester med potter tenkt til annen bruk enn oppal, for eksempel til bruk i dekorasjoner eller for salg som potteplanter. Også for disse pottene ble det konkludert at det er behov for videreutvikling dersom de skal kunne brukes etter hensikten.
Summary translation
In the project Woolly Pot, to reduce plastic consumption in Norwegian nurseries, NORSØK tested various woollen pots, mainly pots for use in raising small plants. In the experiments, lettuce, broccoli and squash were raised in pots adapted to the plant species (module pots for lettuce and broccoli and larger plant pots for squash). The plants were planted out in the woollen pots and compared to plants raised in plastic pots and planted out without a pot. Plant development and decomposition of the woollen pots were recorded. All plants in woollen pots, developed poor root systems and thereby poorer or delayed plant development due to slow pot decomposition. Woollen pots intended for plant raising, need further development to ensure both shape-stability in the transplant period and quick enough decomposition in soil for satisfactory plant development. In addition, a couple of smaller tests were carried out with pots intended for uses other than for transplants, for example for use in decorations or for sale as potted plants. These pots also need further development if they are to be used as intended.
