Rose is a crop that is grown on the same substrate for several years. This requires additional firmness and stability of the substrate, so the crop can continue to make optimal use of the total substrate volume throughout the entire cultivation period.
Because rose crops should continue to produce optimally year round, good and instantly steerable slabs are of great importance. In addition, a new trend among increasing numbers of rose growers is to recirculate drainage water, and to increase the use of biological crop control methods.
