"Grodan: "Precision Growing has never been so Precise"
New NG2.0 substrate saves up to 15% water
The growing world population means the demand for sustainably produced and healthy fresh produce is continuing to increase. The greatest challenge facing growers is creating the ideal conditions for growth: not just for a few weeks, but all year round. Precision Growing plays a vital role in this respect. It gives growers the opportunity to produce more using less water and nutrients.
The next step in Precision Growing
Grodan introduced Next Generation Technology in 2007. Its introduction already signalled a giant leap forwards in crop management, plant steering and root development. NG2.0 can be considered to be the next step in Precision Growing.
NG2.0 adds new benefits to the advantages already offered by Next Generation Technology. Water distribution is even more uniform and even better utilisation of the entire substrate volume by the crop is ensured. Continual new growth of roots in both the block and the slab results in a healthier and more vigorous crop throughout the whole growing season. These benefits translate to higher yields, improved fruit quality and reduce the sensitivity of the crop to diseases. NG2.0 creates the perfect substrate for growers and propagators of plants.
Phased transition to NG2.0 from 2016
Grodan will implement NG2.0 in its complete range of products. In 2016, NG2.0 will be fully incorporated into the substrate slabs GT Master 10 high and Vital 19.5 and 20 cm wide. Groplug, the Plantop block and the new Plantop dry block will see the partial incorporation of NG2.0 technology this year, soon followed by all remaining products.
