What does Fargro's Technical Team do?
Our technical team works directly with commercial growers to design and implement crop programmes covering nutrition, substrate management, plant health, and environmental monitoring. We provide on-site and remote diagnostic support, carry out soil and nutrition audits, and advise on the integration of biological controls alongside conventional inputs.

What is Holistic Growing and how does it relate to your technical products?
Holistic Growing is the framework our technical team uses to inform all their recommendations. It treats the plant, root zone, nutrition, and pest and disease management as one connected system - rather than addressing each in isolation. The products and services on this page are the tools our team uses to put that approach into practice. Find out more about Holistic Growing →

Can Fargro's technical team work with my existing growing programme?
Yes. We always start by understanding what you're already doing. Our team will assess your current programme and identify where our products and expertise can add the most value - progressively, at a pace that works for your operation. We don't ask growers to start from scratch.

Do peat-free substrates require a different technical approach?
Yes - and it's one of the areas where growers most commonly need support. Peat-free and reduced-peat substrates have different air and water characteristics, nutrient release profiles, and microbial biology compared to traditional mixes. Our technical team provides specific substrate analysis and management advice for peat-free systems, backed by practical case studies from growers already working with them successfully.

How do I get started with Fargro's Technical Team?
The best place to start is a conversation. Contact our technical team directly and we'll arrange a time to discuss your crop, your current programme, and where we might be able to help. You can also download our Holistic Growing Grower Guide or explore our peat-free resources before getting in touch.
