Case study
Nursery Propagation Case Study
A propagation nursery standardised on fine coir plugs to lift strike rates and uniformity.
- Strike rate
- +5%
- Plant uniformity
- Improved
- Media consistency
- Standardised

The challenge
What the grower faced
Variable media gave uneven rooting and inconsistent young-plant quality across trays.
| Location | North America (placeholder) |
|---|---|
| Climate | Controlled environment |
| Growing method | Plug / cube propagation |
| Substrate | Fine, uniform coir cubes and plugs |
| Irrigation | Mist / fine overhead |
| Root development | Faster, more even root emergence across trays |
| Yield results | +5% strike rate (illustrative) |
| Water use | Even moisture; less media-driven variability |
The results
What changed
- Faster, more even rooting
- More uniform young plants across trays
- Cleaner, pathogen-free inputs
“Standardising the media took a whole variable out of propagation.”
