Advice from our specialist
For 'Young Plant' production, growers require a growing medium that is free of sticks and roots for automated filling of paper and fiber cells. The growing medium must be clean and free flowing to not clog machinery, but must provide good structure to encourage root development. PRO-MIX YP has been specifically formulated for this application.
