Product characteristics
Incredibly fast rooting after planting thanks to the open fiber structure of the Prestige slab. In addition, the homogeneous water distribution throughout the entire slab encourages the roots to grow up to the top of the slab. The extra stability means the slab can easily cope with several crops of cucumber per year.
Block-slab combination
Grodan Prestige, together with the Plantop propagation block, ensures a stable plant balance for the entire growing season.
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.
