Growcoon for soft fruit. A ‘berry’ good idea!
Growcoon ensures the best start to your soft fruit cultivation. The result? A strong and resilient crop, producing plenty of fruit. Find out all about it.
Based on the principles of Mother Nature
What challenges do you face, during the propagation of your soft fruit crop? Growcoon makes it easier, in lots of ways. Because Growcoon protects the rooting zone and forms a cohesive structure, against which the roots will grow to create a nice and firm root ball. This allows you to transplant safely and faster; the plant experiences no stress reaction. Growcoon allows for a loose structure enabling the roots to grow unhindered. Moreover, the Growcoon is 100% biodegradable. Over time, the roots take over the rooting zone and the Growcoon slowly breaks down. In the end, nothing is left but water and CO2. Zero waste. So very sustainable, and organic.
Optimal root development
In the often-critical rooting phase, the Growcoon provides exactly the support your soft fruit crop needs to develop a nice root ball. The patented net structure ensures that the roots have all the room they need to grow and that the moisture content is precisely maintained. Your benefit? Right! An optimal microclimate and unlimited growth; Roots that continue to grow straight from the net into your system, Growbag or open ground. The plant develops a healthy and widespread root network that can thus make optimal use of its substrate base.
The Growcoon's ingenious design reduces disease pressure
The Growcoon has an exact shape that perfectly matches its tray and forms a closed base. This shape creates an air buffer between the tray wall and the plug, which ensures oxygen diffusion. At the bottom, the Growcoon prevents direct contact with water on the growing surface. It protects the roots from harmful external factors that come with prolonged exposure to stagnant water. It thus lowers disease pressure. For example, diseases and fungal invasions such as: Damping Off, Verticillium Wilt, Phytophthora and Red Core. Growcoon not only makes your crop more resilient, it also protects it. Like a true ‘cocoon’.
Master your own substrate
No result without a good substrate. You decide which substrate you fill a Growcoon with. As well as its density. Loose and spongy, for example, to give the roots plenty of room to grow. Determine the best substrate for your crop, together with the substrate experts at Klasmann-Deilmann. We will be happy to advise you!
