One-two punch

SaniDate 12.0 is a chlorine alternative for treating irrigation systems and ridding them of fungi, bacteria, and their dormant spores. Combining the power of hydrogen with the sustaining life force of oxygen, its two active ingredients, H₂O₂ and PAA, work in unison as a microbiocide, releasing 100 times its weight in oxygen. SaniDate 12.0 is a one-step process for all types of irrigation systems, and its rapid reaction makes it effective for in-pipe treatment and short contact times.

Orchid plug

After two and a half years of research and trials, Jiffy has introduced the Preforma Orchid Plug. The Performa Orchid Plug propagation system is a six-step concept. A uniform substrate featuring a structure with hundreds of micro air pockets evenly distributed throughout the media, stimulating fibrous root growth throughout the full depth and volume of the plug. As the substrate is fully bound, there is no compaction during transport or irrigation. This new orchid plug drains well and has a quick and easy water uptake, allowing the roots to develop optimally, resulting in a more uniform growth. The transparent growing tray, where the plugs are grown as separate units, is designed in combination with the Preforma Orchid Plug and eliminates any chance of root damage or transplant shock, while enhancing (automatic) transplanting. Extensive trials have seen production time savings from 25 to 40 percent.
