AutoStix® with Obturo®

The AutoStix® technology in combination with Obturo® plugs ensure a special rooting process, which offers various benefits for growers: reduce complexity within the growing process, decrease labour force, and optimise the use of space in nurseries.

Currently there are two sizes of AutoStix® strips that can be filled with Obturo® rooting plugs. The use of Obturo® plugs in the strips offers the cuttings an ideal start in substrate which prevents shock during transplanting. It also offers a protected environment for the cuttings during transport and ensures a longer storability of the plants over a specific period.

Benefits of Obturo®

  • Specifically developed to facilitate easy rooting, ensuring the very best growth results.
  • The unique composition of the substrate makes it easy to rewet the plugs.
  • Suitable for almost any crop, even acidophilic plants.

Benefits of AutoStix®

  • Better consistency and uniformity of shipped cuttings
  • Easier and more reliable counting
  • Automatic transplanting
  • The option for buffering in the peak seasons

The AutoStix transplanter and strips are developed by Visser horti systems to automate the process of the sticking of cuttings. The system consists of a patented transplanter and a compatible special patented strip and tray that complete the system.
