Excellent control
The improved initial saturation and improved water distribution throughout the height of the blocks results in improved root growth, and more stable EC behavior in the root zone. The enhanced water holding capabilities benefit growers of all experience levels. This makes it is easier than ever before to control your crop, with even less inputs, from propagation through to harvest.
Balanced steering possibilities
Advanced technology used in Grodan Gro-Block Improved combined with the uniformity of WC and EC throughout the entire block provide very good vegetative and generative steering. WC and EC can be adjusted more rapidly and efficiently. This offers additional assurances, such as in the case that the grower would need to adjust root zone WC or EC.
Roots making better use of entire substrate volume
Both the rooting-in and rooting-through plant processes have improved. Trials have repeatedly shown that the initial rooting-in phase in Grodan Gro-Block Improved occurs several days faster, speeding up the vegetative phase and time to harvest. The more effective rooting-through of the entire substrate volume leads to a visible increase of roots and thus, better water and nutrient uptake. Naturally, this results in enhanced plant health and productivity from start to finish.
Stronger, more vigorous plant development
Due to the better developed root system in Grodan Gro-Block Improved, the trial results showed improved plant growth, including larger plant size, greater stem thickness and bigger leaves. Ultimately, this can lead to higher yield, even for growers with moderate crop steering experience.
