Grodan ensures that growers can make optimum use of its products and services by interpretting the company’s knowledge of and experience with substrate cultivation in terms of up-to-date, crop-oriented advice. Ranging from tailor-made advice from crop consultants to newsletters, seminars and training courses and articles in trade journals.
NG2.0 is the latest substrate technology from Grodan. This technology enables propagators and growers to produce more while using less water, nutrients and space. It creates optimal growing conditions for a whole season, and allows roots to make better use of the entire substrate. NG2.0 is available in plugs, blocks and slabs to help growers and propagators produce sustainably, healthy fresh vegetables for a growing population.

It is important to give the best possible start to the new crop.
Did you know that growing a kilo of tomatoes in the open field requires a whopping 60 litres of water, whereas in hydroponic greenhouse cultivation it is only15 litres?
Care for humans and the environment is evident in every stage of the life cycle of our substrate solutions, from production right through to recycling.
The Grodan 6-phase model offers a blueprint for optimal crop results during both each cultivation phase and the entire cultivation period.
Nutrient recovery makes sense economically and environmentally. Why would you discharge valuable nutrients when they can be used again?
Our Precision Growing strategy has evolved over several years via ongoing input from a variety of external stakeholders including growers, retailers, non-governmental organisations (NGO’s), scientific researchers and policymakers.
Electrical conductivity or "EC" is a measure of the “total salts” concentration in the nutrient solution (drip, slab or drain). The higher the “total salts” concentration in a substrate the higher the EC. An EC will only be registered when inorganic ions are present in solution.
The unit of measure of nutrient solution acidity or alkalinity is termed "pH". It is a description of the concentration of the H+ ions in the feed solution, substrate or drain water.
All essential nutrients required by higher plants, in this case tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, are exclusively inorganic in nature. Conversely, animals (including man) and some micro-organisms need, in addition to inorganic nutrients, a supply of organic foodstuffs. This essentially distinguishes animals, including Man, from plants.
