Transforming Vertical Farming and Nursery Propagation
Technical Insights: The Science Behind ECA®
ECA® – Expanded Clay Aggregate is a marvel of modern engineering and ancient materials. Its technical profile is built on extensive research and innovative manufacturing processes that leverage the natural properties of clay. The following technical insights provide a glimpse into why ECA® outperforms conventional substrates.
Lightweight porous aggregates are an ideal substrate for vertical farming and nursery propagation, providing root aeration, drainage, and water-use efficiency. In vertical farms and controlled environment systems, they support stable plant anchoring while allowing precise nutrient control. For nursery propagation, porous aggregates create a sterile, inert growing medium that promotes strong seedling development. These solutions help drive urban farming innovation and large-scale nursery success.
