ADVANCED Substrates for blackberry and raspberry:
The perfect base for best yield
As part of our globally demanded TS substrate range, we offer specialised mixes for soft fruit like raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Custom recipes suit all cultivation stages and systems. Our TS substrates with GreenFibre® combine high yield performance with a more sustainable substrate concept.
Our fully coir-based mixes provide you with efficient blends for strong yield. All raw materials come from our own facilities in India and Sri Lanka. We offer tailored blends to meet your exact needs.

All advantages of our ADVANCED substrates for raspberry and blackberry:
- High porosity and structural stability: for good root development of crops for one or more seasons
- Balanced ratio between air and water capacities: adapted to growing conditions
- Good water retention capacity for even moisture in the root zone: dry substrates limit the quantity harvested and the quality of the fruit
- Significantly reduces water consumption
- Limits the environmental impact of cultivation
- Homogeneous raw materials, free from plant pathogens
- Lightweight, natural materials allow plants to root easily in the growing environment
