• Filling volume 20 L, length 1 m, 4 installation holes
• Innovative Growbag with low coconut content and complete elimination of rockwool and perlite
• High sustainability thanks to 100% renewable raw materials
• Use of a new component solely based on wood
• All raw materials used in the Growbags are fully compostable
• CO emissions
significantly reduced compared to rockwool, perlite, and coco
• It is not necessary to moisten or rinse the Growbag ADVANCED several days before starting cultivation; a single initial watering is sufficient
• Availability and reliability throughout the year thanks to the high percentage of local raw materials
• Lightweight allowing for optimal delivery quantities and ideal handling in the nursery
• Water savings in irrigation
• High air capacity and large pore volume ensure rapid and strong rooting from the start of cultivation
• Excellent drainage and capillarity in case of over-irrigation
• Uniform moisture throughout the root zone during the crop cycle
• Excellent wettability
• All raw materials have low salinity, thus no salt stress at the beginning of cultivation
• Reduced cultivation risk due to lower salinity compared to coco
• Easy and targeted pH control
• Unlike inert materials such as rockwool and perlite, the raw materials used in Growbag ADVANCED are microbiologically revitalized
• and help suppress plant pathogens
• Reduction in the occurrence of "crazy roots" caused by Agrobacterium rhizogenes
• Fewer fungicide treatments against root rot, as plants develop overall healthier and stronger

USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS


It is no longer necessary to heavily water or rinse the Growbag ADVANCED several days before cultivation

A shorter one-time watering is still required; experience so far shows that 15-20 irrigations of 2-3 minutes each, every 40 minutes, are sufficient. Thanks to better and faster drainage, it is necessary to reduce the drainage holes; otherwise, leaching becomes too high. In this case, water savings are possible.
Irrigation intervals that are more frequent and shorter compared to 100% coco are optimal.
When reducing the amount of water, it is advisable to simultaneously check the nutrient content of the solution, which should be slightly increased.
Monitoring the salinity of the drainage water is important: due to the limited nutrient reserve of wood fiber compared to 100% coco, fertilization adjustments may be necessary during cultivation.

At the beginning of cultivation, an increase in manganese content, originating from the wood, may be observed, but this has no impact on cultivation or yield.

A slight nitrogen fixation during the first weeks of cultivation is normal, so it is necessary to ensure a sufficient N concentration in the nutrient solution. Increase nitrogen in the nutrient solution by about 40 mg/l, or according to the specific assessment of the grower.

Fewer fungicide treatments against root rot are needed, as plants and roots develop healthier and stronger.

The Ca/K ratio of Growbag ADVANCED is more advantageous compared to 100% coco. Thanks to the lower potassium content in the woody raw material, it is possible to avoid antagonism with calcium uptake, thereby ensuring Ca supply to prevent blossom-end rot.
