AirTray Technology for Berries generated interest at the PCA (Protected Cropping) Conference last week in Adelaide. Ellepot’s AirTray system enhances 🍓 strawberry propagation, by improving root air-pruning, minimizing transplant shock, and increasing plant uniformity. Florida trials in USA, showed up to 15% faster establishment and 10–12% higher yields versus traditional plugs. AirTray also cuts plastic use and labour, supporting sustainable, efficient operations.
AirTray Technology was seen first - hand at the recent PCA (Protected Cropping) conference in Adelaide.
