State DOT Infrastructure Botanical Hydroseeding Slurry Binder
in Nevada

Arid alkaline soil and gravelly loam make subsoil stabilization incredibly difficult. You must spray drought-tolerant tackifiers and moisture-retaining mulches to stop the wind from blowing your seed away. This locks in the tiny amount of moisture available so your seed actually germinates.

Operational Constraints for Large-Scale Civil Projects

Large-scale earth-moving operations expose vulnerable subsoil to immediate wind and water shear. Traditional stabilization methods require excessive manual labor, heavy equipment tracking over finished grades, and frequent repeat applications after weather events. You require a high-yield hydraulic matrix that locks down the slope in a single pass. The binder must flow smoothly through the hydroseeder pump without fisheye clumping, maximizing your tank yield and eliminating the need for constant mechanical agitation adjustments on the job site.

Meeting NDOT Standard Specifications Section 208 Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by NDOT Standard Specifications Section 208. Its microplastic-free botanical hydrocolloid network forms a 3D matrix. It resists high-velocity storm runoff and keeps synthetic toxins out of the watershed.

The matrix prevents "fisheye" lumping inside your hydroseeder pump. This stops pump cavitation and reduces friction head loss. You maximize your tank's spray payload and eliminate constant agitation adjustments on the job site.
