Product information

The benefits Grodan Vital

• Simple watering
• Safe water buffer
• Fast root developmentspacer

Thanks to its unique fibres, Grodan Vital has considerably improved resaturation, more uniform water buffer and improved root development in comparison with the Expert slabs. The new production technology means the slab can be resaturated better and faster than before (see illustration). The distribution of the water content and the EC is also more uniform, not only within slabs but also among the slabs (see illustration).

The solution

This makes the Grodan Vital the solution for growers seeking a reliable substrate that facilitates a simple watering policy and that offers certainty throughout the cultivation period.

The benefits Grodan Vital

Simple watering

The properties of Grodan Vital make a multi-faceted watering policy possible. You can allow the water content to fluctuate with no problems, within a safe range between 55% and 78% (day level). If insufficient water has been given, you can resaturate the slab quickly at any desired moment. In the event of too much water been given the slab’s properties prevent the WC from rising too high.

Safe water buffer

The large water buffer and excellent resaturation of Grodan Vital ensures the slab retains adequate moisture at all times, thus there is always sufficient water available for the plant. Thanks to the improved capillary action Grodan Vital also retains moisture evenly over its entire depth with practical trials demonstrating improved root distribution throughout the slab compared with the standard Expert slab.

Fast root development

The open fibrous structure of Grodan Vital enables the roots to penetrate the slab easily, resulting in fast root development. Fast rooting guarantees swift
and uniform crop development resulting in a stronger plant with greater vigour.
In addition, the extra firmness of the slab guarantees a stable root volume right up until the end of the cultivation cycle.

Extremely versatile

Reliability and certainty occupy a central position in order to improve the quality of your produce, to limit your business risks and to improve your business results. The simple watering method, the safe water buffer and the fast rooting that characterise Grodan Vital will help you to increase the yield of your crop. Moreover, Grodan Vital is extremely versatile and lends itself perfectly to the cultivation of the most important vegetable crops such as: tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers and aubergines.
