Features & Benefits
- Characteristics
CULTIVATOR is a growing system with a substrate mix especially designed for soilless cultivation of a wide variety of plant species.
The bag acts as a covered container, which prevents the substrate from coning into contact with soil and air particles and its compact size ensures good use of space. It is used to substitute poor or depleted soils and to avoid the appearance of diseases derived from cultivation in soil. In this sense, it prevents air impurities, spores and other elements from falling on the substrate and germinating during cultivation, and therefore prevents harmful microorganisms from proliferating.
The substrate acts as a support for the plant, for storing nutrients and ensuring uniform growth of the crop thanks to the mixture's homogeneity. The content of the culture bag is mainly organic and can be reused for other agricultural applications.
The use of pine bark in the mixture suppresses diseases caused by bacteria and/or phytopathogenic fungi.
All the processes are subject to rigorous quality controls in order to guarantee customer satisfaction and to respect the environment.
The substrate is usable both in short growing cycles and in long growing cycles. Thanks to the properties of Cultivator 40 and its formulation, uniform growth of the entire production is obtained. The sack format allows cultivation on contaminated soils, or in paved greenhouses or with anti-grass mesh. In greenhouse crops, the grow bag can be used for up to three seasons.
