On June 22, 2006, we organized a seminar for our customers growing tomatoes on Pargro mineral wool. This year’s meeting consisted of two parts.
The first training session, during which representatives of cooperating companies made presentations on selected articles from their offer and presented planned novelties, and the second consultation session, during which Dr. Maria Wysocka Owczarek presented a lecture based on the problems previously reported by producers.
The seminar started with the presentation of a very interesting film on fighting spider mites with the use of their natural enemies. The film was presented by Biopartner – a leader in the field of biological protection. The company’s representative, Dr. Janusz Piątkowski, after the screening of the film, answered the questions and comments of the producers.
Dr. Krzysztof Fatel from Yara Poland (formerly HYDRO) presented new micronutrient fertilizers for fertilizing tomatoes under cover and representatives of seed companies presented their novelties for the upcoming season.
Paweł Strauchmann from Rijk Zwaan presented information on the very promising tomato variety BOGOTA from the 200g segment, and the Seeds & Serwis program for greenhouse producers implemented by the company.

A new, improved type of Neptun Plus mat is introduced with a wavy, disturbed fiber arrangement and slightly increased density. The new Pargro Neptun Plus mat will be produced on a special production line that allows to maintain an extremely high repeatability regime.
A new mat with an increased height, 10 cm in addition to the previously produced 7.5 cm, is also introduced into mass production. In addition to the mat, the cubes for seedling production will be improved. The new cube, under the trade name Pargro Premium, is also produced on a new production line, which allows for a significant improvement in the uniformity and quality. Gardeners also liked the new graphic design of the Pargro Premium cube
The speech by Bożenna Pałach from Centrum HACCP on the requirements of food law for horticultural production in the face of customer requirements, i.e. on mandatory and voluntary food safety systems, aroused a lot of emotions.
