Riceland® Parboiled Rice Hulls (PBH) — Nature’s Media Amendment

Riceland® Parboiled Rice Hulls are a sustainably sourced, processed grow media amendment that outperforms traditional perlite in porosity, handling, and environmental footprint. PBH is the professional grower’s choice for greenhouse and nursery operations looking to reduce input costs, improve drainage, and eliminate the dust and respiratory hazards associated with perlite.

Why PBH Over Perlite

• Superior porosity and drainage — maintains excellent air-to-water ratio in any substrate blend
• Virtually dust-free — no respiratory hazard, no PPE required during handling
• Lightweight — reduces shipping and handling costs vs. perlite
• Minimal fertility and irrigation adjustments — drops into existing programs without recalibration
• Stable structure — resists compaction and maintains pore space throughout the crop cycle
• Sustainable and renewable — a natural byproduct of rice processing, not mined

Container Topdress Applications

PBH doubles as an effective container topdress for weed and moss suppression, significantly reducing hand-weeding labor in nursery and greenhouse production without chemicals or synthetic mulches.
