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 CroptiV8.
What is CroptiV8?
CHV CroptiV8 is the new standard in stimulating plant vigor. CroptiV8’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
CroptiV8 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
CroptiV8 also improves root vigor 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 vigor of plants has a better optimum flowers harvested are of excellent quality.
Enhancement Crop Programs
During application of CroptiV8 it is observed that the uptake of other inputs improves. With good management of CroptiV8 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. CroptiV8 is easy to apply and designed to provide growers ‘peace of mind’. CroptiV8 is designed to apply efficiently through drench and drip irrigation systems.
Benefits & Results
The use of CroptiV8 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 vigor and production increases of 8% up to even 43%. Below some pictures and statistics meased;
Pictures of CroptiV8 applied in Kenyan greenhouse in roses versus the control area (standard grower program). The CroptiV8 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.
CroptiV8 clearly stimulates developments of shoots. Once the plant is treated regularly with CroptiV8 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 CroptiV8. 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 CroptiV8 helps to improve chlorofyl levels and shoots. These pictures shows the power of CroptiV8 in hydrangea’s with a picture of standard grower program (left) and CroptiV8 applied in hydrangea’s (right). In these hydrangea’s 12% more better shoots could develop with strong development of flower heads.
How to use CHV CroptiV8 for Ornamentals
CroptiV8 clearly stimulates developments of shoots. Once the plant is treated regularly with CroptiV8 the plants and roots are stimulated to induce more shoots resulting in more yields and better plant development.
