Product catalog summary

Introduction
Grodan, part of the ROCKWOOL Group, has developed the Grodan Supreme slab, a crop-specific product solution aimed at enhancing sweet pepper cultivation. This document outlines the advantages, specifications, and practical applications of the Grodan Supreme slab.

Product Specifications
The Grodan Supreme slab is based on NG2.0 technology and is specifically designed for the V cultivation system. It measures 10 cm in height and 12 cm in width, with standard slab lengths, and is wrapped in extra-lightproof plastic.

Advantages of Grodan Supreme

Easy to Control: The slab's design allows for quick response to irrigation changes, facilitating a generative crop reaction early in the season. The fine capillary fibre structure retains moisture effectively, and the water content (WC) can be easily adjusted.
More Vigorous Plants: The slab promotes fast, strong root development, particularly in the upper part, leading to vigorous plant growth and reduced risk of plant losses.
Higher Production: The slab supports uniform crop growth, enabling high early production and continued vigor throughout the season, reducing susceptibility to diseases.
Better Fruit Quality: The slab encourages uniform flowering and fruit setting, resulting in high-quality peppers with fewer deformities.
Perfect Block/Slab Combination: The NG2.0 technology ensures an optimal distribution of water and nutrients, promoting continuous root growth.

Precision Growing with GroSens and e-Gro
The GroSens wireless slab sensors and e-Gro app enhance precision growing by providing real-time data on water content, EC, and temperature. This system allows growers to better understand and control the root environment of their plants.

Practical Experiences
Trials have demonstrated that sweet pepper plants develop roots faster in Grodan Supreme slabs, leading to healthier growth and higher production. The slab's design ensures efficient use of water, nutrients, and energy, aligning with the principles of Precision Growing.

Conclusion
The Grodan Supreme slab offers sweet pepper growers a reliable solution for achieving higher yields, better fruit quality, and more vigorous plants. Its design and technology provide enhanced control over cultivation, making it a valuable tool for modern agriculture.

Grodan Supreme takes sweet pepper cultivation one step further Grodan Supreme is a unique stone wool slab for the cultivation of sweet peppers (V system) that was developed on the basis of customers' requirements. Many sweet pepper growers aim to achieve high early production, a higher total production and peppers of on average better quality. This calls for a substrate with wide water content (WC) and EC control ranges that promotes complete, finely branched root development and constant vigour. The new, more effectively controllable Supreme slab meets these requirements, offering growers more...
