-
This system is an innovative patented solution that overcomes the limitations of traditional drip systems. Thanks to its advanced technology, it offers numerous advantages, including:
:
• Fertilizer recovery: The system allows for the easy recovery of fertilizer that recirculates on plant roots, significantly reducing resource waste and fertilizer costs.
• Substrate reduction: The system uses only 6 liters of substrate per meter of system, significantly reducing cost and environmental impact.
• Reduced disposal: Since the system does not use plastic containers, the amount of plastic to dispose of is minimal, and the percentage of substrate to dispose of is lower than other systems.
• Suitable for vertical systems: The system is also suitable for use in vertical systems, allowing for more efficient use of space.
• Harvest uniformity: The solution flows directly onto the roots, eliminating all possible obstructions of the drip system. - Stage of Development
