Rock wool cultivation is a cultivation technique of planting plants in pre-made rock wool, which originated in the Netherlands, Israel and other countries. Rock wool is a matrix made of a certain proportion of diabase, limestone and coke mixed, fired in a high-temperature furnace, sprayed, cooled and pressed, and then added with a hydrophilic binder. The use of rock wool instead of soil and the use of rock wool's water permeability and ventilation characteristics provide unlimited possibilities for plant growth potential, and it is an efficient facility agriculture model.

Tomatoes and eggplants grown by rock wool cultivation technology use water and fertilizer integration technology, and the scientifically configured nutrient solution is transported into the substrate through pipes and droppers.

Characteristics of rock wool cultivation technology

1. Non-toxic and sterile: rock wool is made under high temperature conditions, and does not contain germs and other organic matter.

2. It is beneficial to root growth: rock wool is pressed and formed, the shape is relatively stable, the texture is soft and uniform, and the air permeability and water holding capacity are good, which is conducive to the growth of crop roots.

3. Recyclable: When using rock wool to cultivate plants, you only need to drip nutrient solution, and the crops can be recycled after planting.

4. Can be used continuously: rock wool itself does not spread diseases and insect pests, and can be used continuously for 1-2 years or after disinfection without serious diseases.

5. Convenient management: After the rock wool is made, the operation is very simple. Just make the tank body, put rock wool, vermiculite or sand, and plant the plants to be planted in it.
