How to choose the best cassettes? Tips and recommendations.
Welcome to the Agreen website – your reliable partner in the agro-industry! Today, we pay attention to one of the key aspects of gardening and horticulture - choosing the optimal cassettes for your farm.
Cassettes, of course, are an integral part of the modern method of growing plants. Their role in creating a healthy and productive environment for your culture is important, but how do you choose the best cassettes for your needs? Let's consider some key points.
1. Cassette size
First of all, you should consider the size of your garden or vegetable garden. If you are the owner of a large agricultural enterprise, then the optimal choice may be large-sized cassettes for the efficient cultivation of large quantities of plants. On the other hand, for owners of small areas, compact cassettes are ideal, which save space and facilitate maintenance.
2. Material and manufacturers
When choosing cassettes, pay attention to their material - the duration of operation and resistance to various weather conditions depend on it.
Cassettes are made of different types of plastic, each of which has its characteristics.
Polyvinyl chloride (or, for short, PVC) is the most inexpensive material, with low strength (which is why it is often very thick). The main plus is cheapness, the main minus is fragile, contains chlorine, and cannot be recycled.
Polypropylene, on the other hand, is more expensive and more durable, resistant to most damage during operation. Of the minuses, it does not withstand direct sunlight and temperatures above + 50°C.
Polystyrene is practically devoid of the disadvantages of PVC and polypropylene, it is not harmful, it is strong, and it withstands washing and cleaning well.
Pay attention to the manufacturers, which materials are added to the cassettes. A good hint when choosing cassettes by material can be their smell - if it is too sharp, it is better to refuse such cassettes. Choose proven manufacturers that, for example, add plasticizers to the composition. This substance is introduced into the composition of polymeric materials to give them plasticity, and elasticity and increase the term of use. Actually, TM Agreen cassettes are made of high-quality plastic that will last for several seasons.
3. Subsoil and drainage
When considering the cassettes, determine the characteristics of the soil of your garden or vegetable garden. Some cassettes are equipped with additional drainage systems, which makes them an ideal choice for providing optimal conditions for the root system of plants.
4. Forms of cells
The shape of the cell affects the convenience of working with it. The following forms of cells can be distinguished:
Square, rectangular
Round (cylindrical)
Conical (conical)
How to choose cassettes for seedlings by shape? Square or rectangular cell shapes can be a good choice for plants whose roots grow "wide", or branched - then there will be enough space for them. Seedlings from round cells are more convenient to transplant into the soil. But conical cells are an excellent choice for plants whose roots actively grow deep, plus extraction from such cells is easier and reduces the likelihood of damage to the root system.
5. Volume of cells
In addition to the number of cells, when choosing cassettes for seedlings, their volume (large, small, deep) is considered, since the cells are different in shape and size. And since each culture has its growing characteristics, the same cassette for seedlings may not be suitable for different plants. Therefore, before buying cassettes, you should pay attention to which plants they are suitable for. Below is a convenient table for selecting cassettes for the appropriate culture!
Reliable cassettes are the key to the successful growing of plants. When choosing, pay attention to your individual needs and take into account the specific conditions of your vegetable garden or garden. With Agreen, you can always count on high-quality solutions for your farm!
