Excellent control
The higher field capacity upon initial saturation, and improved water distribution throughout the height of the block results in improved root growth, enhanced water holding capabilities, and more stable EC behavior in the root zone. This makes it easier than ever before to control your crop, with even fewer inputs, from propagation through to harvest.
Greater steering possibilities
The advanced technology used in Grodan Gro-Blocks Improved, combined with the uniformity of WC and EC throughout the entire block, provides better vegetative and generative steering. WC and EC can be adjusted more rapidly and efficiently with less leachate required to reduce and stabilize substrate EC. This offer the grower a nimble, flexible substrate that can be steered generatively and vegetatively with a high degree of efficiency.
Roots making better use of the entire substrate volume
Both the rooting-in and rootingthrough growth phase has improved thanks to the Gro-Block Improved technology. Trials have repeatedly shown that the initial rooting-in phase in Grodan Gro-Block Improved occurs several days faster, speeding up the vegetative phase and time to harvest. The more effective rooting-through of the entire substrate volume leads to a visible increase of roots and, thus, better water and nutrient uptake. Naturally, this results in enhanced plant health and productivity from start to finish.
Stronger, more vigorous plant development
Due to the better-developed root system in Grodan GroBlock Improved, the trial results showed increased plant growth, especially during the vegetative phase, in the form of larger plant size, greater stem thickness, and bigger leaves. Ultimately, this can lead to higher yield, while at the same time, the stronger, more vigorous plants show increased resistance to disease.
