SubmerSeed - Composite-Aggregate Material
From Sediment Remediation
SubmerSeed is a composite-aggregate material made up of a dense aggregate core and viable wetland or aquatic seeds held in place with clay or clay-sized material and organic polymers. The technology provides an alternative to traditional means of plant propagation in wetland/aquatic settings, especially when faced with the challenges of establishing a favorable vegetative community in or near inundated conditions. The typical formulation of dry product relies on the nutrients available in the surrounding water and underlying sediment to support germination and nourish sustained growth. However, in certain instances, fertilizer-amended product formulations can also be made available.

Submerseed is a versatile, cost-effective alternative to promote the establishment of beneficial vegetative growth in and around wetland and aquatic systems.
Traditionally, wetland vegetation is introduced (or re-introduced) into an aquatic environment using two basic methods; plug planting and seeding. The SubmerSeed® Composite Seeding Technology was developed by AquaBlok, Ltd. as a means to address the limitations of these established propagation methods.
SubmerSeed particles serve as reliable vectors, delivering discrete packets of valuable seed to the location where they are intended to germinate and grow. The result: thriving colonies of color, beauty, and valuable habitat.
Product Use
SubmerSeed use generally involves broadcasting dry masses of the product through water across the surface of the sediment (see Application Methods). Product coverage rates will vary depending on the species
composition and the site-specific requirements for the project.
Although variable, a rate of 1,500 to 2,500 pounds of dry product per acre (approximately 20 to 30 cubic feet dry product per acre) is a reasonable approximation of the quantity of material needed for a typical application. For smaller scale projects, this broad coverage range equates to an application rate of one pound of SubmerSeed for every 18 - 25 square feet to be sown with product.
