1 Guaranteed supplies of water and nutrients 5 Sustainable use of water and fertilisers A reliable slab for sustainable production Grodan's improved Vital slab for vegetables is based on our NG2.0 technology. The improved structure and physical slab properties guarantee fast resaturation within a wide control range. Water and nutrients are uniformly distributed throughout the slab and there are no differences between slabs, meaning that your crop's development can be effectively controlled to promote uniform growth even with a simple irrigation strategy. Grodan Vital combines ease with reliable cultivation results, and is also perfect for Precision Growing. Grodan Vital is very versatile, and most suitable for the cultivation of tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers and aubergines. Tomatoes will benefit from the uniform distribution of water and efficient supply of fresh water, while sweet peppers will show fast initial development and early fruit set. Together with our likewise improved Plantop propagation blocks, Grodan Vital will ensure an excellent plant balance throughout the entire season. NG2.0 Technology NG2.0 is the logical next step up from our Next Generation Technology. In comparison with the preceding generation, crops grown in NG2.0 slabs are able to benefit even more from the total substrate volume. The better distribution of the WC and EC in the slab means that they can be corrected faster and more accurately, especially in winter, resulting in a more vigorous crop that can be more effectively controlled and that has a healthy, fine root structure and a larger root volume. NG2.0 is indeed the next step forward in Precision Growing. <h c* "Mr* Better distribution of WC and EC, especially in the upper part of the slab Better utilisation of the entire substrate volume Fast, uniform initial saturation

supplies of 1 Guaranteed has excellentwater and nutrients with a wide water content (WC) and Grodan Vital water characteristics EC control range. The slab drains quickly, but always retains sufficient moisture to prevent the risk of the plants drying out. The good capillary effect moreover ensures a very uniform distribution of water and nutrients throughout the slab. Easy irrigation Grodan Vital allows a flexible, simple irrigation strategy. The water content can be safely varied within a range from 55 to 78% (day level). If a crop has received too little water or has absorbed more than anticipated,...
