Grodan offers a crop-specific range of substrate slabs for vegetable growing, specifically for tomato, cucumber, sweet pepper and aubergine crops.
Grodan's blocks and plugs shape irrigation plans, ensuring consistent plant growth tailored to diverse conditions and growers' requirements.
Grodan specializes in substrates for floriculture, with a focus on rose and gerbera crops known for their perennial cultivation properties.
More than 50 years ago, we noticed a tiny plant growing in a piece of abandoned stone wool on a building site. Just as it's designed to do, nature had found a way to grow. And it inspired us to design a system to support it – a smarter, soilless way of growing that we evolve, explore and refine continuously. A system that promises high yields of consistent, high-quality fresh food and medicinal crops to feed and treat the world's growing population.

Grodan ensures that growers can make optimum use of its products and services by interpretting the company’s knowledge of and experience with substrate cultivation in terms of up-to-date, crop-oriented advice. Ranging from tailor-made advice from crop consultants to newsletters, seminars and training courses and articles in trade journals.
Agriculture accounts for roughly 70 percent of global freshwater use, and extreme weather events—droughts, floods, and unpredictable rainfall—are putting even greater stress on the systems that feed us. Strengthening water resilience requires not just incremental efficiency gains, but a rethinking of how and where we grow crops.
Against the backdrop of the accelerating market transformation from low-tech to high-tech strawberry production, initial results from an innovative trial demonstrate the excellent compatibility between F1 hybrid strawberry seeds and Grodan stone wool solutions.
In the era of advanced technology and increasing consumer awareness, the modern greenhouse is not just a place of production but a true laboratory of innovation and an ecological bastion of food safety. Growers, who just decades ago focused mainly on efficiency and fighting plant diseases and pests, now face a completely new challenge: how to produce fruits and vegetables without chemical crop protection residues, while meeting the market’s ever-growing expectations?
Besides helping growers to achieve their sustainability goals, efficient water management plays a crucial role in maintaining plant health. Realising or steering towards a certain drain volume or drain percentage per day should not be your goal. Instead, the goal should be optimising your irrigation strategy to provide your crop with precisely the amount of water and nutrients it needs. This will ensure the development of a strong and healthy root system, leading to consistently good plant growth, fruit quality and a higher total production. Grodan’s Andrew Lee explains how.
