To assist you in learning all there is to know about substrate cultivation and precision growing, Grodan offers a wide range of videos. Ranging from technical information to hands-on instructions, these videos have proven to be amongst the most effective learning tools. In addition, this allows you to acquire knowledge from any geographical location at any time.
In this video, Andrew Lee, Technical Services Manager at Grodan, explains the importance of root zone management for strong and resilient plants, as a pillar of Precision Growing. Learn how Grodan’s stone wool growing media make it easier to measure and monitor water content (WC), pH and electrical conductivity (EC) values in the growing media. The resulting data-driven insights into the root zone environment can help growers to control irrigation and nutrition more effectively, leading to earlier and higher yields, better fruit and flower quality, lower costs and improved sustainability. The video concludes with some case studies showing examples of root zone management best practices.

Because organising international meetings and events was not possible due to the Coronavirus, we decided to change the setup of the International Propagation Seminar on 23rd of September. On this day, we organised our first online International Propagation Seminar. This means we facilitated a content webinar of approximately 1.5 hour instead of the original 2-day program. The theme remained unchanged:
BACK TO THE ROOTS
The biggest change is of course that we are not able to facilitate the networking part and the practical visits. Nevertheless, we guarantee an inspiring program with fascinating speakers from different areas (eg. science, plant breeding, crop specialist) who will shine their light on the latest developments in the area of root zone management.
Director Marketing Vincent Deenen of Grodan opens the Seminar, and shares his vision on the impact of digitalisation in the horticultural industry and in particular professional propagation.
Director Sales North West Europe of Koppert gives his view on developments regarding biological crop protection and natural pollination in propagation.
