Product characteristics
Elite's special dual-layer slab structure promotes strong, finely-branched root development at the start of cultivation. This also ensures optimal refreshment of the nutrient water.
Block-slab combination
The Plantop NG2.0 block and the Grodan Elite slab are both based on the same NG2.0 technology and are perfectly compatible. The uniform structure guarantees continuous root development in both blocks and slabs throughout the entire growing season. The Grodan Elite also makes a perfect match with the Grodan Pro block, which is based on Vision technology. The strong stability and stick firmness of the substrate make the Pro block the best choice for growers who highly value improved handling of blocks in automated processes, while retaining an optimal water and air balance in the block.
NG2.0 Technology
NG2.0 is the successor of the Next Generation Technology and adds new benefits to the existing advantages. Water distribution is even more uniform and the crop utilises the total substrate volume better. Continual new growth of roots in both the block and the slab results in a healthier and more vigorous crop throughout the whole growing season. These benefits translate into higher yields, improved fruit quality and reduce the sensitivity of the crop to diseases. The technology is available in plugs, blocks and slabs.
