I wanted to make a quick amendment to my post about the status of the multi-cut liners for next season. Previously I stated that the Syngenta Kwik Kombos and Selecta Trixi liners were business as usual, but I have now learned today that the Dummen Utility patent has forced some changes to the Trixi Liners, that actually is a great improvement for that program.
In order to not be affected by the patent, the Trixi Liner is now individually stuck in a mono-culture tray, then combined of week 3 in to a 50 cell tray and then finished in the production tray for 3 more weeks before shipped to a rooted customers.
What this means is no misses in a 50 liner (1 item dies in production), better and faster rooting due to the smaller initial cell size, and lastly each species can be treated early in production based on its specific needs. All three of those will make a superior product to last years Trixi Liners.
This technology and process will also be utilized in the new Ball FloraPlant MixMaster program that will include all the great BFP breeding lines.
I will update with pictures later.
P.S. Beautiful here today again.
