Flower Advances to the Royal decree on sustratos of crop

To weigh that the rule will not go in in force until starts of 2012, Flower sand advances to the Royal decree and already is implementing the necessary mechanisms to guarantee the quality and trazabilidad of his sustratos as it contemplates it the new normative. For this, have carried out the timely changes to fulfil/fulfill to the detail some of the newest requests of the Royal decree.

The most important appearance of the Royal decree is the one to fulfil/fulfill with the trazabilidad of the product. That is to say, can follow the trace, through all his stages, of the sustrato from his production until it arrives to the market. Also the control of quality of the product and his prime matters is paramount, appearance that Flower always has taken into account.

The Royal decree also sues that the producing company have of the necessary methods to take samples and determine the characteristics of the product. The procedure to be followed it is simple, but has to be exhaustive. Thus, Flower possesses a technical department and of quality with the necessary equipment and of last generation to fulfil/fulfill with the requirements of the Royal decree and with the optimum analytical technicians and of greater reliability.

The own laboratory of Flower can determine the content of nitrogen; metals and potassium by atomic absorption; humidity with a stove desecadora; pH; conductivity and finally, phosphorus with an espectómetro of UV-visible. In addition to all this, the laboratory also analyses/analyzes complementary parameters like the density, the capacity of aireación or the germination, amongst other.

With the aim to fulfil/fulfill with the requirements of quality and trazabilidad of the new Royal decree, the technical department and of quality of Flower, initiates the track of the product analysing/analyzing each batch, the properties of the prime matters that supplies us our provider when they arrive to our industrial complex (peats, compost, …) by batches. Once verified his optimum state stores the prime matter for a back use.

On the other hand, during all the productive process in Flower, the department of quality takes a sample of the mix of the raw materials before his ensacado, in which it analyses, amongst other, the pH, the conductivity, the density and the organic matter that contains, like the minimum parameters that stipulates the new Royal decree for the substrata of crop. Although, if the sustrato like this requires it, also can analyse the density, the dry matter, the NPK, the metals, the retention waters and the index of germination.

After the seen well of the analysis, the chain of production initiates his set up with total hygiene that the final product will fulfil with the expectations of quality and trazabilidad.

The method of the signature allows that the substrata of crop of Flower always have had all the guarantees of quality and that from 2012 will follow having they, thanks to the constant updates of our process of production.
