Created for Increased Water-Holding Capacity in Precision Hydroponics
Automation-ready OASIS® AeroSelect™ PlugTray is a nextgeneration singulated foam substrate designed specifically for precision hydroponic farming in controlled growing environments. Engineered for higher water demand, OASIS® AeroSelect™ PlugTray offers increased water-holding capacity and higher capillary action. The substrate’s ultra-low density encourages uniform germination, unrestricted root penetration and uniform seedling growth. The singulated substrate prevents root tangling during propagation, simplifies automated and manual transplant, and eliminates transplant shock. OASIS® AeroSelect™ PlugTrays are available in pre-dibbled 72ct, 105ct and 128ct single- and multi-seed trays.
Applications
Ideal for hydroponic propagation and production of all leafy greens (including spinach) in warmer, lower latitudes and tropical climates or conditions with higher water demand.
Features & Benefits
+ Singulated substrate’s unique open matrix and finer cell structure balance air-filled pore space with increased waterholding capacity and superior capillary action, for finer roots and more branching.
+ Preloaded, ready-on-demand singulated substrate reduces labor in automated and manual operations, prevents root breakage or damage at transplant, and eliminates transplant shock.
+ Ultra-low substrate density encourages uniform germination, easy and rapid root penetration, and unrestricted seedling growth for exceptional young plants — even finicky crops.
Ready on demand for automated and manual operations
Suits crops and conditions with higher water demand
Increased water-holding capacity and capillary action
Optimizes root zone water, prevents overwatering Clean,
+ Inert substrate arrives clean and free of pests and pathogens, including plant and food-borne pathogens. Reduces disease pressure and maximizes precision nutrient dosing flexibility.
+ Reliable, structurally stable media delivers consistent, uncompromised air-to-water ratio from propagation through production, resulting in superior, uniform young plants.
+ Suitable for both overhead and sub-irrigation during propagation, as well as NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), DWC (Deep Water Culture) and Dry-Hydroponics systems.
