Discover strategies for achieving consistent strawberry production. Learn how to flatten peaks, ensure steady harvests, and create a balanced workload for improved financial stability and year-round yields.
Hydroponic strawberry growing is revolutionising the way we enjoy strawberries, offering a sweet taste of summer – even in winter! Traditionally, commercial strawberry growers have been limited to cultivating strawberries during the warmer months. However, many commercial growers are now discovering the benefits of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA).
Grodan has recently completed the first in a series of research trials at Proefstation voor de Groenteteelt in Belgium to determine the optimal electrical conductivity (EC) levels for hydroponic lettuces when grown in stone wool blocks. In this article, two experts reflect on the findings, which show that stone wool growing media can help high-tech lettuce growers to achieve high-quality, uniform and dependable results more cleanly and efficiently than on the benchmark substrate peat.
We are a global leader in the supply of innovative stone wool substrate solutions for the professional horticultural based on Precision Growing principles.
