Innovative propagation with gel plug technology<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Successful crops start with uniformity in propagation. That is why we are developing a new, patented gel plug technology that creates a consistent, sterile root environment to promote rapid and reliable germination and vigorous plant growth.<\/p>\n

This innovative approach, consisting fully of natural, compostable materials, forms the gel into a uniform propagation plug, which helps to give young plants a very consistent and healthy start. It also prevents impurities in hydroponic systems. The root ball gains immediate stability even before root penetration, facilitating automated cultivation steps and thereby shortening cultivation times. Based on our extensive research and development expertise in propagation systems, the entire patent portfolio and the groundbreaking know-how behind this technology are owned by the Klasmann-Deilmann Group.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]In professional young plant production, all aspects of cultivation management must work together seamlessly \u2013 from filling line technology and automation to the growing media itself and the growing conditions in the greenhouse. Our research and development work focuses on solutions that offer our customers very practical benefits, increase crop security and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production systems. Gel plug technology is one of our latest fundamental innovations on this path.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1628171821663{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: #414345 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Advantages for modern propagation<\/span><\/h2>\n

    \u2026we are expanding our portfolio with an innovative product that bridges the gap between classic substrates and highly specialised propagation systems. Our new gel plug offers great potential for young plant cultivation. Extensive trials in various crops have shown that germination rates, root development and crop homogeneity are always at least on a par with established systems and in many cases even exceed them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Progress in motion: advancing through development with selected pilots<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The gel plug technology will be introduced first in pilot projects with selected major customers to ensure the most practical product development based on real nursery needs. In parallel, our interdisciplinary team is working on production capacities and integration into existing production lines to prepare for future scale-up.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
