Having introduced a pioneering development with
the introduction of the innovative young plant technology ROCS in cooperation with Visser Horti Systems during the IPM this January, Selecta one and Visser now continue their common path.
ROCS consists of 34 in substrate rooted cuttings in a Multi Media strip by Visser for fully automatic processing in a Visser AutoStix® machine. If this machine is connected with a potting machine, a very efficient processing chain with many advantages results. Many discussions which were held meanwhile, showed a strong customer interest. There will also be presented a new developed rooting and shipping tray, which holds 15 Multi Media strips.
The whole concept of this ground-breaking technological development is now ready to be introduced into the European market. At its both FlowerTrials locations, in Germany and the Netherlands, Selecta one will inform customers and interested people about this innovation.
At the FlowerTrials location in Holland, there will be a large live demonstration of the processing of Selecta young plants in a Visser machine. For questions about the technology and for additional advice, contact persons from Visser will be on site.
From 11th to 14th June 2019, visitors can convince themselves and be inspired by the current Selecta assortment and by the new varieties and marketing concepts at the FlowerTrials locations of Selecta one.
In the Rheinland Westfalen Region the nursery Christian Filla in Straelen, which is known from the previous years, is presentation location in Germany again. Especially worth seeing is the show garden there. More than 500 Selecta varieties of the current Selecta one assortment are presented in baskets and window boxes and show their performance. Additionally, the adjacent hall hosts special marketing presentations and different product types.
As last year, the location in Holland will be in the Westland region at the Nursery P. van Geest Maasland. Visitors can expect a huge exhibition of the assortment – from Pelargonium to Petunia and Dianthus to bedding and balcony classics. Selecta one announces colourful decorated theme worlds on more than 1,000 square meters. Visitors can look forward to live floristry demonstrations and many opportunities to become active.
