Bio-SuperSil (BioAg)

Bio-SuperSil is a soluble liquid that provides beneficial silicon and should be used as part of a complete fertilizer program. It is a unique and proprietary formulation from BioAg and uses a nonionic, nanostructured silica. Bio-SuperSil has a lower pH, which allows users to blend it with water or fertilizer without drastically increasing the solution pH and without a pH buffer. Bio-SuperSil may improve cell wall strength and structure.

Vera Vertical Farm (Netled)

Vera is a family of industrial-grade, proprietary vertical farming systems by Netled. Vera is a true end-to-end, turnkey vertical farm facility with the lowest end-product unit costs and energy consumption on the market. It is scalable according to the grower’s business plan, production volumes, and product groups. The growing processes are fully automated — from seed to retail. Vera is operated with proprietary Vera software.

KX-1 Kale (Vilmorin-Mikado)

Unlike any kale in the market, KX-1 from Vilmorin-Mikado is an innovative component for baby leaf salads and other leafy blends. While its leaf shape is similar to that of Red Russian, its color, on the other hand, is truly dark wine-red. The underside of the leaf is green and displays red veins. It has strong leaf texture and its divided leaf margins make for an interesting 3-D shape.
