Total concept for pepper cultivation

Root problems and reduced yields in pepper cultivation cause a lot of unrest among growers. Van der Knaap Group has Forteco® coco growbags in its product range for the cultivation of various types of fruit vegetables. Coco has excellent cultivation properties; it is an airy and highly controllable substrate. It also lends itself very well to an active soil life. Trials with sweet peppers in our own innovation centre ‘de Kas’ showed that a rich and varied micro life develops in coco substrate during cultivation. This was demonstrated using Eurofins Agro's Soil Life Monitor. A rich soil life contributes to a resilient plant that is more resistant to diseases and pests. With Forteco® coco growbags, you choose security without having to compromise on cultivation and production.

At Fruit Logistica, Van der Knaap will present a total concept for sweet pepper cultivation.
