Professional horticulture and the substrate industry are undergoing a profound change with the aim of more sustainable production. As a leading international substrate manufacturer, Klasmann-Deilmann offers innovative solutions that significantly contribute to more sustainable, emission-free cultivation while ensuring optimal yields.
Innovations towards climate neutral horticulture TerraCoal® – biochar for substrates
This structurally stable biochar improves growing media in terms of ecology and plant growth. As a sustainable raw material it provides a high carbon binding capacity, acts as a CO2 sink and significantly contributes to climate-neutral plant production. At the same time, it promotes plant cultivation by activating soil life, providing air capacity and buffering nutrients.
In future, TerraCoal will also play an important role in Klasmann-Deilmann’s modern and sustainable range of ADVANCED Substrates. Practical trials with formulations containing TerraCoal confirmed reliably high crop performances. TerraCoal thus harmonises ecological requirements and professional quality.
Growbag ADVANCED – the sustainable growbag generation
Designed as a new concept for growing vegetables and strawberries, Growbag ADVANCED combines maximum crop performance with environmentally friendly materials. Made from the innovative wood-based GreenFibre® Mix, these growbags are produced in Germany and Australia to ensure they are available internationally all year round. They promote strong and healthy root growth, simplify irrigation control and significantly reduce emissions. When used with the new TerraCoal biochar, the Growbag ADVANCED enables growers to work towards achieving climate-neutral fruit and vegetable cultivation in the future.
Growcoon – new dispensers for easy handling
The proven Growcoon system for young plant cultivation is being expanded with new dispensers. In collaboration with Maan Horti Automation from the Netherlands, automatic and manual dispensers have been developed that simplify the use of Growcoon in the cultivation process and further increase efficiency in cultivation. The 100% biodegradable Growcoon is a powerful and plastic-free solution for healthy roots, faster plant development and shorter cultivation times.
