Growing vegetables on Cultilene
 

More choice in absorption capacity and controllability range
 

Different characteristics are needed from different crops or growers from a substrate. Some crops or growers need a generative substrate while others prefer a more vegetative action.

Cultilene slabs have a wide water content range which can be easily controlled. These slabs can also be easily re-saturated. This controllability means you can steer the slab easily to the target moisture content for each of the growing stages of the season.

The choice of slab depends on a combination of factors such as the capacity and accuracy of your irrigation system, crop type and climate. With our wide range of slab types we can supply the right water content/control balance to suit your situation.
 

• ReaXXion

  • outstanding reactivity for a fast response to changeable growing conditions;
  • ideally suited for use in gutter systems;
  • best choice for growers using sensors for tight water content and EC control;
  • generative substrate in wintertime and / or relatively dark greenhouses.
     

• OptimaXX

  • a slab with a faster response to water content with good EC control;
  • excellent reactivity to changing growth circumstances;
  • strikingly even water and EC distribution. 
     

• EXXellent

  • Excellent water and EC distribution;
  • Large water content control options with good EC control;
  • Fast and accurate water content control;
  • A sophisticated slab, good on gutters or the floor.
     

• MaXXima

  • multiannual, firm, durable product;
  • large water content control possibilities for vegetative / generative balance;
  • ideal for growers looking for more water buffer during the summer months.
     

• Exact Air

  • strikingly better O₂ supply in the bottom 2.5 cm of the slab;
  • substantial reduction of inefficient water roots;
  • superior root distribution within the slab;
  • more resistant to irrigation problems;
  • re-saturation is second to none;
  • a “safer” substrate under autumn conditions.
