Hydroponic horticulture and floriculture

Non-soil cultivation is a pioneering method of crop production, as the farmer avoids the use of pesticides, which impact health and the environment. LAVA pumice stone, the only natural hydroponic substrate, has excellent performance as a substrate for agricultures, considering that it is free of plant diseases, features a balanced ratio of water capacity to air permeability and it does not impact the environment at the end of its lifecycle.

Furthermore, LAVA pumice stone adequately reconciles water retention needs with proper root drainage and aeration requirements. It demonstrates excellent farming behaviour in hydroponic tomato, cucumber, pepper, rose, gerbera, gypsophila, carnation, chrysanthemum and other vegetable and flower cultures. Thus, the agroLAVA pumice substrate is an ideal solution for the modern grower. The excellent farming behaviour and the increased yields delivered by the agroLAVA pumice substrate along with its affordable cost, make it ideal for horticultural and floricultural crops.

To ensure correct application of pumice in agriculture, LAVA S.A. has partnered with the Agricultural University of Athens.
