" Vegetative multiplication is challenging in itself and vex further complicated when cuttings are import from offshore position . Despite the rigorous feat taken by seaward farms , cuttings are not necessarily always uniform and may not arrive in high quality , " explains Vijay Rapaka , Ph.D. , Director of Global Grower Operations and Research at Oasis Grower Solutions . " The haven RhizoPlug Tray was alone formulated to fast track the retrieval process of those vegetative cuttings that were scratch and shipped for 3 to 4 days , often under unfavorable conditions . “Dr . Vijay RapakaVegetative propagators in today ’s horticulture industry understand that extra days on the bench mean smaller allowance . But too often , young flora producer chasing loyal turnover sentence peril misplace quality , consistency and uniformity . That ’s why the Oasis Grower Solutions developed the OASIS RhizoPlug Tray .
Dr. Rapaka underline that this grower - driven generation substrate provides genuine - world solutions to growers ' needs . " Developed specifically in response to the needs of preciseness vegetive propagator , this newfangled singulated foam substrate elevates the extension experience and provides the competitive boundary large- and small - scale wheeler dealer need . In trials with loose fill and specialty substratum , such as stabilise and bonded substrates , OASIS RhizoPlug Tray systematically deliver up to 20 % dissolute time to root , extract and transplant — with superior results at every step . "
" The innovative wetter technology and open cell matrix make the pee readily available during one of the most crucial stages of the propagation process . As a outcome , the cutting become fully functional to jump-start the rooting operation , " Dr. Rapaka share . " With OASIS RhizoPlug Tray , we achieved a unexampled benchmark for lose weight substratum resistor , metier and density where even finespun herbaceous flora material can express their full rooting potential . The custom plug and tray design allows unseamed integration with the automation process and gentle extraction of the plugs . "
The benefitsThe singulated organise foam substratum is idealistic for vegetative multiplication of a wide mixed bag of floriculture crops , culinary herbs , tropicals , industrial hempen necktie and alike crop , including gainsay fragile - stem varieties and stage III tissue culture crops .
Designed for easy use and manipulation in automated and manual grow operations , OASIS RhizoPlug Tray delivers several benefits , according to the company . " First of all , faster cutting rehydration : advanced surface-active agent technology fend for rapid cutting recovery and an earliest simplification in misting oftenness , reducing labor and pest and pathogen pressure level . Also , pre - dibbled substrate ’s extremist - low density and resistance enables faster , easier cutting insertion without breaking or wind damage , even for challenging delicate - stemmed varieties . On top of that , alone cellular ground substance encourage rapid tooth root penetration , vigorous rooting , and amend fine root computer architecture and branching , while eliminating risk of overwatering when used properly . Optimized , consistent zephyr - to - water supply - ratio also supports profuse growing and vigor , producing vernal plants with extreme uniformness , consistence and quality . “In trials , vegetative annuals propagate in OASIS RhizoPlug Tray are consistently up to 20 % faster to root , excerption and transplant liken to loose fill and specialty substrates such as stabilize and draw together sensitive , the company adds . " Also , ultrafine cell structure and superior capillarity make an outstanding interface with transplant media , include peat , woodwind fiber and other blends . last , from cleaner benches and floors with less alga and fungus gnats to topnotch - clean young plant production , admit well-to-do extraction and transplantation , growers enjoy a cleaner substratum experience . ““I can not stress enough about the all - round cleanliness this product offer up . This not only avail foreshorten pest and disease pressure and profit the yield of clean and healthy unseasoned plants during that immediate crop oscillation , but also beyond that revolution with the next generation cycle , " Dr. Rapaka adds . " We are thrilled to offer every grower , heavy and small , an ultimate propagation experience from peg to transplanting with precision , cleanliness and functioning . This technology allows fast retrieval , rooting and transplant thereby improving operational efficiency and subdue price . "
Pre - dibbled haven RhizoPlug Tray singulated engineered foam substrate is available pre - loaded in 72 , 105 , and 128 numeration fireplug shroud from interior and international distributors .
