When every seedling counts

SILVIVO® is a natural precision nutrition solution, free from microplastics, that gives seedlings a safer start with faster growth, stronger roots and higher survival during the critical early years.

Forest regeneration is an investment in the future. Every seedling that fails to establish represents lost time, money and growth, and today’s seedlings are increasingly exposed to stress from drought and pest damage. With SILVIVO®, survival rates improve while establishment takes place in balance with the forest ecosystem.

Balanced natural nutrition

SILVIVO® provides balanced nutrition with a high amino acid content, based on European-sourced yeast extract – a natural by-product of fermentation, including bioethanol production.

The formulation is rich in organic nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and essential micronutrients in well-balanced proportions that match the needs of the seedling. Through processing, these nutrients are converted into a high-value source that delivers exactly what the seedling requires from the very start.

Clay as a natural carrier – free from microplastics

The nutrients are encapsulated in European-sourced clay – a natural soil material with a high capacity to bind nutrients – and formed into granules.

Unlike many conventional slow-release fertilisers with polymer coatings, SILVIVO® contains no non-degradable polymers that can generate microplastics and persist in the soil. The product therefore complies with upcoming EU regulations on polymers.

Controlled release directly at the roots

The granules are placed directly in the root zone at planting, where nutrients are retained and released gradually, governed by soil moisture and temperature, in line with the seedling’s needs – much like natural soil processes.

This ensures an even, demand-driven nutrient supply without the risk of salt stress, making the solution safe for precise application at both roots and seeds. A small amount of nutrients can deliver a significant effect.

Stronger root systems and living soil

A steady supply of nutrients stimulates root development and strengthens symbiosis with beneficial soil fungi, particularly mycorrhiza. This enhances the seedling’s ability to absorb water under dry conditions and to make use of nutrients naturally present in forest soils during the first few years following harvesting.

Rapid establishment of a functional mycorrhizal symbiosis significantly enhances the seedling’s ability to compete for light, nutrients and water, leading to long-term gains in productivity.

Results

Secure establishment and higher survival
SILVIVO® applied at planting gives each seedling a stronger start, promoting root development, improved drought tolerance and greater resilience to stress.
Enhanced root growth helps the seedling overcome planting shock.

Faster early growth and reduced risk of damage
A well-developed root system promotes faster stem thickening, allowing the seedling to leave the high-risk zone for pine weevil more quickly.
A strong start also supports higher productivity throughout the rotation.

Proven field performance
Field trials in Sweden? consistently show higher survival with SILVIVO®, even on unprepared ground.
This enables greater flexibility in forest management, including planting in sensitive environments such as lichen-rich areas important for reindeer grazing.

Long-term value
The result is more viable trees that develop into productive forest – capturing carbon dioxide, producing timber, and generating long-term economic and societal value.

The SILVIVO® way

1. You receive next-generation nutrient granules in biodegradable packaging.
2. The granules are placed in the root zone at planting.
3. Results after season 1:
   A safer start with stronger roots, higher survival, faster growth and improved stress tolerance.
4. Results after season 3:
   Early root development enables the seedling to make better use of soil nutrients over time, supporting faster growth and the potential to shorten the rotation period.
