Sweet pepper growing has never been so precise Grodan Supreme Part of the ROCKWOOL Group

Grodan Supreme takes sweet pepper cultivation one step further Grodan Supreme is a unique stone wool slab for the cultivation of sweet peppers (V system) that was developed on the basis of customers' requirements. Many sweet pepper growers aim to achieve high early production, a higher total production and peppers of on average better quality. This calls for a substrate with wide water content (WC) and EC control ranges that promotes complete, finely branched root development and constant vigour. The new, more effectively controllable Supreme slab meets these requirements, offering growers...

6 5 4 3 Vital 2EC development over two days Supreme The higher, narrower Supreme slab responds more quickly to changes in irrigation strategy, this makes it easier to realise a generative crop reaction at the start of the cultivation season. The fine capillary fibre structure ensures that the top part of the slab retains sufficient moisture. The WC can also be easily lowered during the night without any need for extreme measures. Supreme ensures a perfectly balanced crop from the very start of the season. Because the EC will rise less quickly, you can use water of a slightly higher EC for...

4| Higher production Sweet pepper crops grow quickly and very uniformly in Grodan Supreme, enabling them to realise the right balance for high early production sooner. The greater uniformity (fewer less well developed stems) and vigour keep the plants more vital throughout the summer and make them less susceptible to diseases such as Fusarium. The possibilities of better vegetative and generative crop steering secure extra vigour through the entire season. The advantageous production observed in the early season is consequently continued after August. The plants still look remarkably fresh...

More precision and convenience with GroSens and e-Gro Our GroSens wireless slab sensors and e-Gro users app for smartphone, tablet or desktop make Precision Growing even easier. Our GroSens hand-held meter is a flexible, reliable instrument with which growers can measure the water content, EC and temperature of any slab. Our GroSens Multisensor system accurately analyses these measurements for an entire greenhouse section 24/7. Combined with our e-Gro app it will enhance growers' understanding of and control over their plants' root environment. Never before has Precision Growing been this...
