ROCKWOOL's Roermond plant takes a crucial step in electrifying two production lines, aligning with the science-based CO2 reduction targets for 2034 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
Grodan & Fluence, horticultural leaders, share mid-term results of a breakthrough trial at Wageningen Uni. , transforming winter hydroponic strawberry cultivation with stone wool and advanced LED tech boosts strawberry growth & quality and keeping the plants out of dormancy.
Roermond, January 24, 2024. Grodan, a leading supplier in soilless growing solutions and substrates, has become the first company from the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) sector to join the Gender Alliance for Innovation in Agriculture (GAIA). To mark the occasion, Grodan’s Marketing Director Gonneke Gerkema contributed to the GAIA launch event at the European Parliament on January 24th, 2024.
The trial started September 2023 at Botany and will explore principles of low energy growing under fully dimmable Philips LED lights. Focus will be on plant transpiration and nutrient uptake in a 260 m2 department fitted with active air de-humidification. This year's strategy is built on the knowledge gained from last year's successful tomato trial by Signify. By modelling the expected crop development and performance, both Grodan and Signify expect to reduce up to 40% on heat input by dimming the lights based on crop needs, energy prices, and outside light conditions.
Grodan and Fluence join forces to develop new concept for year-round, high-tech strawberry cultivation with a demonstration trial at Wageningen University & Research in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.
Grodan launches "Designed to grow" branding to spotlight sustainable, soilless growing for global food and medicine needs.
We are a global leader in the supply of innovative stone wool substrate solutions for the professional horticultural based on Precision Growing principles.
