 June 2010 – Substrate supplier BVB Substrates in De Lier, the
Netherlands, is launching BVB Sublime, a new substrate for the international
vegetable sector. BVB Sublime is made of Polygrow, a polyurethane foam with a
high pore volume. It has been specially formulated for use in horticulture; it
is extremely airy, hydrophilic and retains its shape well. During the 2008-09
growing season, yields achieved in research trials were five per cent higher on
average with three cucumber crops, and seven per cent higher with a tomato
crop.
