Grodan takes Delta to the next level with Grodan Improved Gro-Blocks
Following several years of proven sales success to licensed growers in North America, Grodan Improved Gro-Block now replaces the company’s existing Delta products in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
Gro-Block improved is a prime example of the ongoing commitment to research and development by Grodan, a leading manufacturer of innovative and sustainable stone wool growing media solutions for the professional horticultural sector in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Grodan Improved Gro-Block has already firmly established itself as a popular range among licensed growers in North America, which is why the stone wool specialist has now decided to replace its existing Delta range with the Grodan Improved Gro-Block in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
Grodan Improved Gro-Block is the result of Grodan’s partnership with the Wageningen University and Research Facility and top growers. Together, they are continuously optimising stone wool substrate and irrigation strategies for licensed indoor and greenhouse medicinal* crops. This led to various innovative features at the heart of Grodan Improved Gro-Block, including the new and improved Advanced Wetting Agent and hydrophilic technology.
Moreover, the fibre structure and physical properties in these blocks have been further developed to support better crop uniformity, more even WC and EC distribution throughout the entire block and improved steering capabilities. This new range – which is available in all standard dimensions – delivers easier control, stronger plant development, more consistent quality and repeatability for growers at all experience levels, while minimising water and nutrient usage.
The key benefits of the new Grodan Improved Gro-Block are:
- Excellent control: Thanks to better initial saturation, improved water distribution and enhanced water holding capabilities, Grodan Gro-Block Improved makes it even easier to control your crop, from propagation through to harvest, using even less water and fewer nutrients.
- Balanced steering: Thanks to advanced technology and uniformity, WC and EC can be adjusted more rapidly and efficiently for very good vegetative and generative steering.
- Faster rooting-in: Trials have repeatedly shown that the initial rooting-in phase occurs several days faster, speeding up the vegetative phase and time to harvest.
- Stronger, more vigorous plant development: Because the roots make better use of the entire substrate volume, the uptake of water and nutrients is improved, resulting in larger plant size, greater stem thickness and bigger leaves.
- Optimised wool structure: Grodan Improved Gro-Block maintains its structure, firmness and rigidity throughout the entire growing process.
Grodan Improved Gro-Block is a direct upgrade of the existing Delta products and will be available in all existing dimensions. Thanks to easier control and steering combined with stronger and healthier plants, Grodan Improved Gro-Block will help growers at all levels of experience to achieve higher yields of uniform plants with a consistent quality profile.
In addition to the Gro-Block Improved, Grodan also offers a premium range of Grodan Max products featuring Vision 1.0 Technology. This unique top-of-the-line range has been specifically developed for more experienced, large-scale growers who are looking for a best-in-class product offering maximum steerability.
*Please note that Grodan only sells products to licensed growers of medicinal crops.
