ZeoPro has years of successful application in a variety of floricultural activities.  It’s unique plant demand driven fertilizer release provides optimum growth for small plants with no source of root burn.  Young plants grow faster and are more robust.

The benefits are many:

  • Reduced fertilizer requirements
  • Reduced nutrient loss
  • Fast plant development
  • Lower water consumption

Proven performance and research

There is a considerable body of research on many different plant types that all show consistent results.  Shown here is a classic example of the use of ZeoPro.

The ongoing nutrient release makes for a more robust plant as it releases nutrients in the root zone.

Reduced Nutrient Loss

In independent university research at University of Illinois, a leachate collection system with chrysanthemums demonstrated 60 to 90+% reduced N, P, & K nutrient leach losses with ZeoPro as shown here.  This translates into reduced environmental impacts from greenhouse and nursery operations for growing bench leach losses, and reduced fertilizer consumption and costs, a win-win situation.
