ISHS Acta Horticulturae 71: Symposium on Carnations

COMMERCIAL CARNATION GROWING ON ROCK WOOL MATS IN DENMARK

Author:   A. Bjerggaard
Abstract:
The use of rock wool as a growing medium has become a common practice in Danish glasshouse cultures during the last years. Until today no scientific work has been published regarding carnation growing in rock wool. This paper is based upon practical experience in Danish carnation growing from single beds with rock wool compared with soil to entire greenhouses covered with rock wool mats. Materials, methods, difficulties and advantages are described.
