Key leaders from Mexico’s horticultural sector came together in Querétaro for the Designed to Grow Roundtable, an event hosted by Grodan to foster dialogue, share experiences, and build strategic alliances among growers, technical experts, and industry stakeholders.
Thanks to ongoing research, in recent years there have been huge advances in the scientific understanding of the root zone microbiome – in other words, the microbial life on and around the roots of a plant. But how does the root zone microbiome develop in stone wool, and what is really going on in this fascinating, invisible world?
Grodan and Philips Horticulture LED Solutions are further exploring opportunities for growers to reduce energy costs through an efficient approach to LED lighting and effective root zone management, combined with climate control and active dehumidification. Having full control of all aspects of the cultivation strategy offers unique opportunities for producing a high-quality, year-round tomato crop with reduced energy input and lower costs.

Hydroponic strawberry growing is revolutionising the way we enjoy strawberries, offering a sweet taste of summer – even in winter! Traditionally, commercial strawberry growers have been limited to cultivating strawberries during the warmer months. However, many commercial growers are now discovering the benefits of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA).
Grodan has recently completed the first in a series of research trials at Proefstation voor de Groenteteelt in Belgium to determine the optimal electrical conductivity (EC) levels for hydroponic lettuces when grown in stone wool blocks. In this article, two experts reflect on the findings, which show that stone wool growing media can help high-tech lettuce growers to achieve high-quality, uniform and dependable results more cleanly and efficiently than on the benchmark substrate peat.
