Aiming at the application of peat substrates in the production of vegetable nursery stock, chemical analyses and experiments were established on the following four peat bogs: Ramski Rit, Vedrine, Gajsko-Dubavacka peat bog and Pester peat bog. Ramski Rit, Vedrine and Gajsko-Dubavacka peat bogs are lowland peat lands formed on the Tertiary clays, receiving water from precipitation and underground water, whereas Pester peat bog is an upland peat land. The analysed lowland peat was ameliorated, i.e. drained, so the organic matter mineralisation processes were in the advanced phase, wherefore the percentage of organic matter was lower than that in Pester peat. The lowland peats are ideal for the production of substrates and their preparations, especially for the vegetable production, because their pH in nKCl is negative and the content of mineral substances is rather high. In contrast to lowland peat, Pester peat is ideal for the preparation of substrates applied in the production of evergreen trees and shrubs, for high quality grassland and for the seedling production of berries, which require an acidic reaction and a high content of organic matter.
