FIELD: agriculture.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to plant growing. Cohesive product is a growth substrate formed from artificial vitreous fibers bound to the cured binder composition and the wetting agent constituting an alkyl ester sulfate. Growth substrate is used as a substrate for growing plants or for germinating seeds. Method for growing plants in a cohesive product is a growth substrate, and includes: production of at least one growth substrate formed from artificial vitreous fibers associated with a cured binder composition and a wetting agent； placement of one or several plants for growing into a growth substrate； and irrigation of the growth substrate； the wetting agent is an alkyl ester sulfate. Method for germinating seeds in a cohesive product is a growth substrate, and includes: producing at least one growth substrate formed from artificial vitreous fibers associated with a cured binder composition and a wetting agent, placing one or more seeds in a growth substrate, irrigating a growth substrate； and ensuring the germination and growth of seeds from which seedlings are formed； and the wetting agent is an alkyl ester sulfate. Method for manufacturing the growth substrate comprises the steps of: i. manufacture of artificial vitreous fibers； ii. spraying of artificial vitreous fibers with a binder composition； iii. spraying of artificial vitreous fibers with a wetting agent； iv. collecting and combining artificial vitreous fibers； and v. curing the binder composition； and the wetting agent is an alkyl ester sulfate.EFFECT: inventions make it possible to improve wetting.22 cl, 5 dwg, 5 tbl, 5 exГруппа изобретений относится к области растениеводства.
