OptiBoost – infuse exceptional quality into your process

The OptiBoost vacuum impregnation (VI) technology improves the rooting and growth of cuttings and thereby decreases losses of eucalyptus and tropical clone cuttings propagation. There are numerous benefits for the forest industry generated by the OptiBoost method. Including better rooting quality, acceleration of root formation, and an increase in the nurseries’ capacity.

A quality step in the propagation of forest cuttings

Planting trees from cuttings poses various challenges, especially concerning successful rooting and overall survival rates. Forestry companies frequently encounter substantial losses, especially when dealing with the finest clone specimens.

OptiBoost introduces a critical quality enhancement, guaranteeing ideal conditions for the growth of new plants.

This distinctive vacuum infusion technology, in conjunction with custom-formulated solutions, guarantees that each individual cutting receives the optimal prerequisites for both survival and successful rooting.

Our patented system ensures that every single cutting is thoroughly enriched with essential nutrients.

Effectively addressing the cultivation challenges associated with cuttings, the OptiBoost method has demonstrated consistent, proven results across a variety of cutting types.

Technology

Optiboost technology is a symbiosis of two technologies. Vacuum impregnation and nanotechnology. We impregnate the cuttings with a functionalized nutrient solution based on the third generation of patented nanotechnology. 

The vacuum impregnation technology introduces external liquids into porous structures such as plant tissue. The treatment chambers is optimized to enable the nutrient solution to efficiently reach the cells of the treated cuttings. The cuttings are impregnated with the optimal amount of solution. 

The tissue is immersed in the liquid and subjected to a two-phase pressure change. The liquid infused into the material may have different properties, and VI can thus be used to change the composition of plant tissues. Different cuttings demands for different VI protocols, nutrient solutions (pressure parameters, treatment time, etc)
