For this reason Floragard offers mutual cooperation with our field experts and the Technical Department of Horticulture. The purpose is to work on crops, growing methods, technical equipment and climatic conditions of the horticultural business and to develop individually tailored special s. To determine the optimal recipe for your s with regard to the composition, structure, fertilization and, there are numerous possibilities. On the following pages you will find out more about the different organic and mineral constituents utilised by us, in addition to differently extracted and processed peat qualities and their place of origin.

The goal is to develop your very own, perfectly aligned product, supplied by us. Modern horticulture requires discerning quality regarding the structure. This is because the structure has a direct influence on the aeration, water and heat balance of the, as well as on root growth, nutrient and water absorption and the growth of the plants. Here the structural stability during the crop cultivation period is of particular significance. A remains stable if the overall number of pores and the pore size distribution is retained during crop cultivation. This is of particular importance with demanding crops or with crops that have a longer period of cultivation. Favourable physical properties such as air and water capacity should ideally be retained throughout the entire crop cultivation period. For optimal plant production, having a structure that has been aligned to the area of application and the operationspecific crop and production circumstances is indispensable. Besides the demands posed by the crops and the irrigation practices, the type and size of the s and the technical processing of the s with potting and filling machines is important. During consultation, all of these framework conditions are established in detail by our experts, helping to select the ideal for your business and crops.
