October 7 marked the official launch of FutureProp Inc., a partnership between Gold Leaf Technologies and Artechno Growsystems that hopes to broaden the plant propagation industry.
Art van Rijn, Founder and President of Artechno Growsystems said: "Over the past few years, we've worked closely with propagators in the Netherlands to explore the potential of using our AVF+ system for young plant propagation. The results have been remarkable."
FutureProp, "powered by Artechno", will help growers increase production by incorporating grow cells into their existing facilities, maximizing space efficiency, reducing labor costs, and creating more room for production.
In addition to advancing floriculture and food crop propagation, FutureProp will collaborate closely with the forestry industry to improve the survivability of tree seedlings to address supply shortages. Other applications include graft healing, tissue culture transition, and the development of plant-based proteins.
FutureProp is also announcing a research collaboration with Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in the heart of the Beamsville-Niagara greenhouse region and just a few hours from Ontario's greenhouse mecca, Leamington. FutureProp will work with growers to conduct trials, validating the results made possible by this technology.
