When Happy Propagation Farm needed a solution for their grafted cucumber nursery, Jiffy set to work. We developed a tailored version of our cucumber propagation pellets and finetuned the operation\u2019s equipment to achieve best results.<\/p>\n

Cucumber propagation pellets – a biobased solution<\/h2>\n

Happy Propagation Farm is one of a growing number of state-of-the-art nurseries popping up all over South Korea. They help grow fresh and healthy produce in a country where arable land is scarce. To stand out in this competitive market, Happy Propagation Farm\u2019s President, Sungcheol Kim, knew he had to boost both quality and yield. He also wanted a biobased, sustainable solution \u2013 because an inert material like stone wool would be incompatible with the Koppert biological additionals the cucumber nursery was already using.<\/p>\n

Koppert represents Jiffy in Korea and they put Happy Propagation Farm in touch with Sandeeptha Gamalath, Jiffy Sales Manager Asia Pacific, about trialling J-7C Pellets<\/a>. Koppert\u2019s people knew J-7Cs contain the right fertilizer mix and water-to-air ratio to make sure the cucumbers\u2019 roots would grow fast and strong from their very first days in the nursery.<\/p>\n

How Jiffy-Koppert partnership adds value<\/h2>\n

Koppert<\/a> Korea and Sandeeptha worked together to support Happy Farm throughout the J-7C trials. They even adapted Jiffy\u2019s technology concepts for the cucumber nursery\u2019s automated tray filling and expansion equipment to provide streamlined performance.
