CRF technology incorporated

At ICL (formerly Everris) we know that grower requirements vary geographically and from crop to crop, therefore we offer a complete solutions package to design and produce growing media to our customers’ individual requirements.

With this in mind we have produced four growing media mixes (for Pansy and Primulas as well as for Poinsettia and Cyclamen crops) from our wealth of knowledge within the professional horticulture industry. These innovative mixes have been crafted by the ICL technical team who work with growers on a daily basis and know how to provide better quality crops whilst maximising return on investment.

Our Technical Area Sales Managers (see back page) will be pleased to discuss your exact requirements in person or over the phone, as they all have a wealth of knowledge working in the horticulture industry over many years.
