Witasek presents GroWit® Hydrogranulate at Christmas Tree Day 2025 – Collaboration for Sustainable Forest Cultures

The forestry sector is increasingly facing major challenges: longer dry periods, soil erosion, and rising maintenance efforts make it harder to successfully establish young trees. Innovative solutions for water storage and soil improvement are in higher demand than ever. Together with our partner Witasek, a well-established provider of forestry and plant protection products, AgroBiogel GmbH presented the GroWit® Hydrogranulate on August 29, 2025, at the 16th Austrian Christmas Tree Day in Kollnitz am Ostrong – a product that shows particular strengths in forestry.

Cooperation with Witasek

For many years, Witasek has been supporting forestry enterprises, forest owners, and producers with a wide range of plant protection and forestry supplies. With the introduction of GroWit® Hydrogranulate, the company expands its portfolio with a sustainable solution that improves the establishment of young trees and reduces maintenance measures. The close cooperation with AgroBiogel GmbH makes it possible to bring scientifically proven innovations directly into forestry practice.
