GreenPlugs
Paperplugs that grow your business.
GreenPlugs are manufactured the same way fine cigars are made, giving them unmatched consistency. Using unique technology from the tobacco industry, we first separate the peat particles. With great precision, these particles are layered to create a foundation for growth. Then the fleece is wrapped around the cylinder of soil. This optimizes the spaces between the soil particles for the perfect distribution of soil and air, which enables optimal drainage. The uniformity in shape, density, and moisture content, results in even growth.
These premium paperplugs with customized homogeneous substrates and are said to have the most optimal, rapid and equal growth of young plants. With GreenPlugs, you choose a complete and reliable propagation system that consistently delivers, requires less work and saves space. Throughout the entire cultivation process – from planning to deliverable young plants – our specialists are there to advise and assist you. GreenPlugs, advanced paperplugs for efficient growth!
Plant Marvel
The first commercial fertilizer to deliver a total nutrient feed to crops without fear of burning and with unparalleled ease of application. It provided almost instant response because all nutrients were in a form the plants could utilize. This was called Nutriculture.
Over the years, the concept of foliar feeding and widespread use of water solubles in the commercial market took effect. But the company’s most important innovation has been the incorporation of all necessary trace elements into every N-P-K formula they manufacture.
The number of fertilizer formulas kept in stock is more than 50, with another 200 or more special non-stock formulas that have been developed. Each of these is designed to promote or overcome a specific growth characteristic.
