According to the substrate supplier, the practical results confirm the yields growers can expect from the product. With more than 100 years of experience developing high-quality substrates for professional horticulture, BVB Substrates has a thorough understanding of the role substrate plays within a growing system.
These new solutions are scheduled for large-scale testing in 2026, with the aim of further improving both performance and environmental footprint. This combination provides a stable air-to-water ratio and buffering of nutrients and pH, supporting strong root development and stable growing conditions.
Why this matters: This matters when it gives operators a clearer way to manage water, nutrients, and root-zone risk. That kind of control usually improves both resource efficiency and crop consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes seedling stretching in greenhouse production?
Stretching is often tied to an imbalance between light, temperature, spacing, and irrigation, especially when young plants are pushed to grow faster than their environment can support cleanly.
Why is stretching more than a cosmetic issue?
Because elongated seedlings are harder to handle, root, and finish consistently. Early stretch often creates labor and uniformity problems later in the crop cycle.
