Terraseed® patented systems have been
developed to help organic growers meet increasing demand and stringent
requirements of customers, retailers and the regulatory bodies whilst
giving higher quality or productivity.
Key issues face both large and small organic growers including:
- Cost and lack of reliable labour for
repetitive tasks such as transplanting and weeding.
- Risk of product contamination from soil, and
microorganisms including E Coli and Salmonella.
- Cost and lack of availability of peat substitutes
for transplants.
- Cost of specialist machinery for seeding,
planting and weed control.
- Continuity of production in wet conditions.
- Lack of traceability.
