High value crops: More value from every plant
High value crops are crops with a high economic return per square meter. Think of ornamental plants, soft fruits like strawberries, trees and shrubs, herbs, microgreens, or even medicinal hemp plants. These are crops that offer higher margins, but also demand more care and precision. Often, they are cultivated under highly controlled conditions (CEA) or in advanced systems such as hydroponics and vertical farming. Why? Because these environments allow growers to maintain optimal control over quality, yield, and growing conditions. And that’s exactly where Growcoon adds value.
High demands and high risks
The bar is set high for high value crops. Uniformity, quality, and speed are critical factors that play a decisive role during the propagation phase. A weak root system, an unstable plug, or a substrate that’s too wet or too dry can immediately impact the final yield. Growers working with high value crops know: even the slightest deviation can cut into your margin. That’s why reliability and control are essential especially for crops with short cultivation cycles.
Grow with confidence using Growcoon
Growcoon offers a solution that meets the high standards of these crops. Growcoon is a biodegradable propagation plug that provides a stable and airy base during propagation. Its unique open and conical design stimulates strong root development, while the structure ensures optimal water and air distribution. This gives young plants exactly what they need without stress. And not only during growth, Growcoon also reduces transplant shock when moving plants to the next phase.
Growcoon is compatible with any type of substrate and works seamlessly with both automated and manual processing systems, including the Growcoon Dispenser series. This makes it possible to scale up your efficiency when cultivating high value crops.
What does Growcoon offer the grower?
- Stronger, more uniform plants
- Reduced plant loss and less transplant stress
- Faster growth after transplanting
- Suitable for high-density planting systems
- Fully compostable
Growcoon is already being successfully used by growers of crops like lettuce, basil, young strawberry plants, blueberries, and raspberries. It also benefits young tropicals, annual and perennial ornamentals, trees, and shrubs. The result: greater certainty during propagation, higher yields, and a more efficient cultivation process.
