The first commercial tomato crops under lights with the combination of Cultilene's RootmaXX propagation blocks and Exact Air slabs are now in production in Holland. This unique combination claims to produce exactly the strong generative crop that growers are looking for to produce the highest yield and best quality.
According to Cultilene, the power generated during propagation by the improved root distribution in the RootmaXX block, enables the grower to produce the strong generative plant so important to be able to push the plant hard to maximize flowering speed.
The Exact AIR slab also gives the right control during the important dry back period to produce the balance and speed required for the top crops. The higher oxygen content especially at the bottom of the slab minimizes water roots and maximizes root hairs and root health.
