Research and development for advanced green solutions
Research and development in landscaping is a hallmark of MGF and is essential for creating functional, sustainable, long-lasting landscapes. Through substrate analysis , the selection of natural components, and innovation in technologies, MGF Giardini aims to improve soil performance, plant health, and irrigation efficiency, contributing to the creation of superior-quality green environments.
Soil and substrate research
Soil and substrate research is carried out through the development of specific blends, such as MGF Tricomix and MGF Soilmix, formulated to meet the needs of different plant types and lawns. Each substrate combines natural components and mineral additives, optimizing water retention, aeration, nutrient availability, and protection against pathogens. This ongoing research ensures optimal conditions for the lush growth of ornamental species, ericaceous (acid-loving) plants, lawns, and turf.
Irrigation systems and support technologies
MGF’s irrigation research is led by ghorticultural specialists and dedicated technicians. This approach ensures truly bespoke systems, grounded in in-depth knowledge of botanical needs and supported by the best-in-class materials and components. For example, Toro sprinklers optimize water use, while Rain Bird solenoid valves ensure durability and reliability. Solem or Hunter controllers enable easy management of gardens of any size, including multi-level spaces, ensuring consistent, intelligent irrigation control.
With the integration of smart relays and normally-open solenoid valves, systems can be monitored and managed remotely, enabling prompt intervention in case of malfunctions. This vision, combined with deep plant expertise, ensures balanced water distribution, optimized consumption, and consistent plant growth, regardless of the type or complexity of the green space.
