AgroLAVA is distributed in planting bags on pallets or in big bags. The design of the bag was made in accordance with the specifications indicated by a group of scientists of the Agricultural University of Athens in the context of a relevant research program in order to effectively meet all the needs of plants and to optimize water and air to the roots of plants during the use of the bag.
agroLAVA substrate, an ecological material by nature
LAVA pumice stone is a chemically inert, porous volcanic rock, formed by undersea volcanic eruption in the region of Nisyros. The porosity of the material is due to gaps created by the escaping steam during cooling of lava.
LAVA pumice stone as a natural raw material completelly environmentally friendly, has a consistent quality because of the homogeneity of the deposit and the controls at all stages of production.
