Jose Chen Lopez Horticulture Specialist

"A healthy and vigorous seedling is crucial for a successful crop. Either by seeds or cuttings, most transplants are grown in substrates with minimum microbial activity, this leaves the door open to plant diseases and pests which will be detrimental to optimum plant growth. PRO-MIX® substrate products fill the gap in this sensitive stage because our Bacillus and mycorrhizae help those fragile seedlings to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses to achieve their maximum genetic potential."
