A reprint has been made of the ‘RHP Peat Bog Flora’ that was released in 2011. The 2023 version contains a number of revisions in the text and some images have been replaced. The weed booklet is also completely in the current RHP corporate design.
The first copy was recently given to Merli Keelmann, auditor for MPS-ECAS. For her work she visits various peat bogs in the Baltic States. Merli was happy and thanked RHP. She indicated that she always has the first issue with her when she is on the road for her audit work.
The 'RHP Peat Bog Flora' is a useful tool for identifying plants in peat bogs in an early stage. The handy booklet contains, among other things, photos, maps and determination advice. In addition, it is indicated per plant whether you can leave the plant or if you should remove it and if so, how. This helps peat producers to efficiently carry out weed checks in their peat bogs, which saves them time and money when applied correctly. Good plants can help prevent the growth of weeds. The booklet is also interesting for employees of substrate producers visiting growers and their consultants to assess weed situations in horticultural cultivation. The ‘RHP Peat Bog Flora’ is written in English. The plant names are also stated in Estonian, Finnish, German, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Swedish and Dutch.
The new RHP Peat Bog Flora can be ordered by emailing Ben de Jong. State the desired number of booklets, your name, company name, shipping address and billing address with VAT number and possibly reference number. The 'RHP Peat Bog Flora' costs € 29.50 each (ex.
