Floricultz has more than 25 years' experience in managing growing trials, from plant cultivation and laboratory work to trial evaluation. Our core competence is ornamental plants. We have a trained eye for details that others fail to notice. We also have in-depth expertise in plant protection, plant physiology, plant nutrition and climate control in greenhouses. As a result, we can provide you with excellent service and professional support in all aspects of trialing. Therefore, Floricultz can handle virtually any trial that involves plants. 

Floricultz manages and provides advice on any aspect and type of trial or test

Examples include rooting trials, fertilization trials, yield trials, crop management trials, variety trials, growing media trials, trueness-to-variety testing (true-to-type tests), tolerance to crop protection products, etc. On issues ranging from growth regulation to plant protection, Floricultz will always find a sensible compromise between scientific trialing and real-world conditions. Floricultz plans trials so that clients can analyse them easily and so that they are practical in real-world conditions.  

Floricultz adds real value

Plant cultivation trials that are managed well from start to finish and evaluated carefully will yield detailed information required for cultural recommendations. As a result, launching new varieties is easier, because cultural instructions to growers are part of the package. In other words, they ensure that your varieties get a good start with your customers. A well-managed growing trial is an excellent marketing tool. You can utilize the trial field as a showcase to the trade press, or when staging marketing events. Floricultz also takes the pressure off breeding departments at large floriculture companies when seasonal staff shortages occur.

• Professional support before the trial starts
Well planned trials help you save precious time.  

• Choosing the right location
Target your market from the word go.  

• Trial scheduling
Perfect planning is the key to success. It is the cornerstone for providing the reliable information you need to make decisions on your product portfolio for example. It ensures the trials are fit for purpose and eliminates unwelcome effects on the crop.  

• Checking the trial setup at the start  
This ensures that the trial will provide reliable information. Floricultz checks whether the plant material is uniform at the beginning of the trial, whether it has been put in the right place in the greenhouse and labelled properly.  

• Supervising and managing the trial throughout the cultivation period
Continuous trial management ensures high quality and helps you strengthen your relationships with business partners. By keeping a constant eye on trials, Floricultz will spot and eliminate any misleading results caused by poor crop management. We talk to your production staff to help them understand what the trial is all about. By overseeing trials regularly, we make sure the information gained (e.g. the logged crop data) is more reliable than it would be from just a snapshot. In other words, inadequate crop management would be discovered early. Therefore, misinterpretations would be prevented. One example why a misleading result might occur might be where plants on the edge of a flower bed are smaller, just because conditions are drier there.    

• Checking labels  
Order is fundamental in trials.  

• Capturing and displaying raw data  
Floricultz' quality-driven approach delivers the clarity you require to make decisions. Floricultz captures data systematically and uses state-of-the-art tools for digital data filing. Floricultz classifies and summarizes the trial results according to well thought-out criteria and displays them clearly.  

• Photos 
The trial photos are suitable for training purposes and as promotional material. Photos offer the opportunity to make comparisons even after the trial has been completed.  

• Presenting the results to an expert public 
Lend your trial a final touch.  

• Reporting and evaluating results gained in experimental institutes
Trendsetters or established companies can gain the perfect overview of their market segment.
