Results show Carbon Gold's Biology Blend as the most effective product to reduce the symptoms of root mat in rockwool. (See headline on Page 4 and bar charts on Page 10). Delighted by the outcome, Carbon Gold comments:
“We welcome this groundbreaking research into root mat disease, an infection which affects nearly 90% of tomato nurseries in the UK and threatens significant crop losses. Carbon Gold hopes that these trials will encourage grower confidence in our biological products for ensuring healthy, more productive plants - thereby reducing losses and maximising yields.”
