In order to stop erosion and to favour renaturalization it is often foreseen the use of organic soil that helps vegetation to take root.  PRATI ARMATI® grows on any lithotype, even the most sterile, allowing better results as well as reducing costs

The system soil-roots can plastically deform under mechanical stress

In absence of vegetation, cracks and fissures may develop, triggered by temperature and humidity changes. Destabilizing forces and moments acting on slope sides make these micro damages gradually more consistent and irreversible. Prati Armati® grasses protects slopes and prevent soil particles to fall downhill

A root system with excellent mechanical properties reinforces the soil  increasing it’s shear strength

Mechanical strength of roots has been evaluated using tailored tensile test equipment by ‘Institute of Agricultural Hydrology’ of ‘Università degli Studi di Milano’

The software package has been developed to calculate the increase in Shear Resistance and in the Factor of Safety (SF) of soil armed with PRATI ARMATI® roots

The dense vegetal cover of PRATI ARMATI® protects the slopes against atmospheric agents.  In case of heavy rain, water will stream above it avoiding to be absorbed by the soil
