Forteco® pepper and soft fruit solutions at GreenTech Americas

GreenTech Americas is the meeting place for all professionals involved in horticultural technology in the Mexico region and the rest of the Americas. At the trade fair, which takes place from Tuesday 25 to Thursday 27 March in Querétaro (Mexico), Van der Knaap will present its solutions in the field of rooting media and substates and showcase the range of Forteco® products.

Soft fruit propagation and cultivation
Van der Knaap offers Obturo® for the propagation of soft fruit plants, such as strawberry and raspberry. A proven successful concept that ensures excellent rooting results. Obturo® is a highly versatile plug with a unique composition. The plugs give a high germination rate due to the excellent air-water balance and contain a balanced nutrient composition for a good start. In addition, they are well suited for automation due to their shape stability. For the cultivation of blueberries we offer high-quality Baltic peat.

Total solution for pepper cultivation by Forteco®
Root problems and reduced yields in pepper cultivation cause a lot of unrest among growers. Van der Knaap Group has Forteco® coco growbags in its product range for the cultivation of various types of fruit vegetables and soft fruit. Coco has excellent cultivation properties; it is an airy and highly controllable substrate. It also lends itself very well to an active soil life.

At GreenTech Americas, Van der Knaap will present a complete organic cultivation concept: from sowing to propagation to adult plant. We offer every grower possibilities to grow a healthy and productive crop in a sustainable way.
