So far, the stone wool substrate has yielded good results in strawberry cultivation, Thomas says. "You can give what the plant needs, and you can react faster to changing conditions." In fact, you then have more control over EC, temperature, water content, and salinity, says Thomas. Specifically, the idea is to get a healthy plant that is controllable on a steerable stone wool substrate so that you can also steer production during cultivation.
In addition, you keep the crop dry with an ebb and flow system, which means a dry crown, resulting in a healthier, resilient plant."Ĭontrollable substrate, controllable production "So plant growers have already gone partially from outside to inside with tray plants, and we are now going to take the next step inside." Thomas lists a number of advantages of bringing the plants indoors: "Outdoors, the crop is not controllable, indoors it is, especially with stone wool substrates and ebb and flow floors. Thomas Peters, Business Development Manager at Grodan, sees a new step coming: the ebb and flow floors in the cultivation of strawberry plants, with a high-tech substrate in a high-tech environment. Plant breeders of strawberry plants have made great strides in recent years, for example, by moving the cultivation from outdoors to indoors, into the greenhouse.
