Ornamentals
Discover our solutions for ornamentals. A revolutionary mode of action for a unique combination of results in growing ornamentals. Better plants and roots stimulate the uptake of nutrients important for optimum photosynthesis, shoot formation and flower production.
On this page, you can find specific information for growers of ornamentals about our innovative solution Croptimum.
What is Croptimum?
CHV Croptimum is the new standard in stimulating plant health. Croptimum’s revolutionary mode of action delivers a unique combination of results in growing flowers and plants. CHV’s technology is based on carefully selected and purified plant substances. Our natural products are purified to maximize product hygiene and use through irrigation. We understand plant science. With the use of specific plant derived molecules we stimulate plant and root activation.
Plant activation
Croptimum triggers a response with glutathione which is involved in many plant processes. Through regular application oxidative and abiotic stress is reduced and plant’s performance increases. This results in higher chlorophyll levels and more efficient photosynthesis. Also improved stomatal conduction helps to provide plants the power to grow better and increases capacity for shoot and flower formation.
Root activation
Croptimum also improves root health improving the uptake of nutrients and supporting better crop growth. Improved nutrient levels are measured after regular application. Nutrients such as Iron, Calcium, Boron, Sulphur and Chlorine help any plant with improved chlorophyl production and formation of new Shoots. As the health of plants has a better optimum flowers harvested are of excellent quality.
Enhancement Crop Programs
During application of Croptimum it is observed that the uptake of other inputs improves. With good management of Croptimum and other inputs an increase of the rentability and efficiency of crop inputs can be achieved.
Application made easy
At CHV we strongly believe that our technology should be accessible to our community through relevant solutions. Croptimum is easy to apply and designed to provide growers ‘peace of mind’. Croptimum is designed to apply efficiently through drench and drip irrigation systems.
Benefits & Results
The use of Croptimum provides tangible results and benefits:
- Increased plant and root activity increasing capacity for photosynthesis, shoot formation and improved nutrient uptake.
- Sustainable increased in yields.
- Increase of quality and grades resulting in lower % non-marketable products.
Observations & Results
Through independent research institutes and reputable growers unquestionable results were observed at various production locations in the Netherlands, Africa and Latin America. Across a wide variety of ornamental crops better yields and quality was measured.
Grower results in roses in any growing circumstances and medio in the Netherlands, Africa and Latin America proven improved crop health and production increases of 8% up to even 43%. Below some pictures and statistics meased;
Pictures of Croptimum applied in Kenyan greenhouse in roses versus the control area (standard grower program). The Croptimum treated area shows better crop vigor and more flower stems.
Increase of production achieved in Kenya grown in soil.
Improvement of quality aspects such as length profile in Roses.
Increase of production achieved over time under Dutch production in substrate.
Increase of quality grade for Dutch exports.
Croptimum clearly stimulates developments of shoots. Once the plant is treated regularly with Croptimum the plants and roots are stimulated to induce more shoots resulting in more yields and better plant development.

Stimulation of an optimum rhizosphere is observed after use of Croptimum. Root weight increases have been measured and better root development observed in various crops;
Clear evidence of (young) root growth in substrate in Holland.
Better plants and roots stimulate the uptake of nutrients important for optimum photosynthesis, shoot formation and flower production. Analysis of nutrients of numerous crops resulted in measuring a better nutrient balance in plants;
In any plant Croptimum helps to improve chlorofyl levels and shoots. These pictures shows the power of Croptimum in hydrangea’s with a picture of standard grower program (left) and Croptimum applied in hydrangea’s (right). In these hydrangea’s 12% more healthy shoots could develop with strong development of flower heads.
How to use CHV Croptimum for Ornamentals
Croptimum clearly stimulates developments of shoots. Once the plant is treated regularly with Croptimum the plants and roots are stimulated to induce more shoots resulting in more yields and better plant development.
