Agro Vision - Root Trainers
From Trays, Pots, Root Trainers
Root Trainers are conical cells having 5 to 6 ridges inside and a small drainage hole on the bottom. Root trainers are available singly or in a block with various volumes like 100, 150, 250, 300 cc each. These cones in fact train the root naturally in a way that roots develop parallel to ridges inside the cone and are self pruned without coiling. Here, the air can enter the root zone but sun light cannot. The blocks of root trainer are kept on stands which are about 15 cm above the ground level. These blocks can be transported easily, are long lasting, require less growth medium and water. The application of fertilizer and insecticide is also easy in these Root Trainers. More plants can be raised in smaller area. Pest control management is also easy and more efficient in root trainer method.
