Rock wool is an inert substrate suitable for both run to waste and recirculating systems.
Rock wool is made from molten rock, basalt or 'slag' that is spun into bundles of single filament fibers, and bonded into a medium capable of capillary action, and is, in effect, protected from most common microbiological degradation.
Rock wool for agriculture has characters of excellent stability, nontoxic and non-pollution. It is an important base material in modern agriculture, is suitable for industrialized planting of vegetables, fruits and flowers etc. Combined with drip irrigation and other modern technology, the product can enhance the growing speed, improve the efficiency and quality of the crops and reduce the production cost.
Perfect for Precision Growing: Excellent environment for all your seed starts and transplants rock wool plugs are known for their homogeneity and reliability. They are the ideal media for automated processing, uniform germination and a high success rate with pricking out. The shape and firmness of the plugs are of a quality that makes processing significantly easier, whether that processing is mechanical or manual. Every plug has a uniform density, firmness and fibrous structure. This means that distribution of water, nutrients and pH-value is also uniform, which has a beneficial effect on germination results.
Characteristics & Benefits:
Completely sterile and inert – ideal hydroponic growing medium. Reduced risk of pests and disease.
Even root growth – predominantly vertical fiber structure means identical levels of resistance for each root, so roots grow evenly.
Increased root development – structure of the rock wool is designed for optimum air / water balance and accelerated rooting.
Uniformity – quality and structure is uniform, so water content and EC (CF) will remain the same for every plant.
Re-wetting – It is is easy to re-saturate if it dries out, reducing the risk of root damage.
