Grodan 6-phase model - Phase 3

Greenhouse growers require structured cultivation information due to the complexity of high tech cultivation systems and the continuing increases in the scale of their operations. We provide such information in the form of the Grodan 6-phase model. It is a solution when used in combination with our slabs and GroSens system enabling root zone management by providing users with a blue print for plant steering from planting through to the final harvest of the cultivation.

Start of phase
When the plant starts to feel the effects of the fruit load.

End of phase
Following the first harvest, when the pressure of the fruit load is starting to decrease.

Objective phase
Avoid shocks in development by retaining the right balance in fruit load and growing power in the plant for the growth of strong lateral shoots. The combination of harvest of the first fruits and new fruit setting (as the fruit load continues to increase) must be in line with assimilates supply which is variable and strongly depending on the weather.
