Key Benefits
Multi-Application Flexibility
Apply by hydroseeder, blower, or hand for maximum jobsite versatility.
Ideal for Remote & Hard-to-Access Sites
Pelletized format allows application where equipment access is limited.
Fast Mixing & Breakdown
Pellets quickly absorb water and disperse for uniform coverage.
Improved Seed-to-Soil Contact
Enhances germination and early vegetation establishment.
Moisture Retention
Helps retain moisture in the soil to support plant growth.
Clean Loading & Handling
Pelletized material reduces dust, mess, and cleanup on site.
Consistent Coverage
Delivers uniform application without clumping or inconsistency.
Lightweight & Efficient
Easy to transport, stage, and apply across large or difficult areas.
Enhanced Surface Bonding (Viva Avena+)
Built-in tackifier helps hold material in place on slopes and high rainfall areas.
Viva Avena vs Viva Avena+
Viva Avena (No Tack)
Standard hydroseeding • dry sites
- Standard hydroseeding applications
- Flat to moderate slopes
- Dry sites / low-organic soils needing moisture retention
- Large areas requiring clean, efficient application
- Remote or hard-to-access areas
- When tackifier is not required
Typical rate: 4,000–6,000 lbs/ac
Viva Avena+ (With Tackifier)
Slopes • erosion-prone areas • higher rainfall
- Slopes and erosion-prone areas
- High rainfall / washout risk sites
- Projects requiring additional surface bonding
- Early-stage stabilization before vegetation establishes
- Remote or difficult-to-access sites
- When mulch needs to stay in place longer
Typical rate: 4,000–6,000 lbs/ac

How It Works
Step 1 — Apply
Apply via hydroseed or dry broadcast.
Step 2 — Expand
Pellets absorb water and expand.
Step 3 — Disperse
Fibers disperse and form a protective layer.
Step 4 — Establish
Supports germination and early growth.
Performance Outcomes
Improved germination
Better moisture retention
Enhanced soil contact
Improved erosion resistance (Viva Avena+)
Applications
