Benefits and Advantages of CropKing's
MicroGreen Growing System

The MicroGreen system from CropKing grows the best MicroGreens on the market and earns an excellent return on your investment! 

Controlled production of consistently high quality microgreens and other specialty greens such as wheatgrass are now possible with CropKing’s   technology.  A standard single MicroGreen system will produce as much in a thousand square feet as soil growers produce in fifteen times that amount of space!

CropKing’s MicroGreen  technology can…    

• Grow fresh, highly nutritious and extremely tasty MicroGreens!
• Provide a totally controlled environment growth chamber.
• Eliminate the use of harmful pesticides or herbicides.  
• Accelerate germination and growth of microgreens.  
• Grow a consistent quantity and quality of product, day in and day out!  
• Minimize labor… watering is completely automated.  
• Significantly reduced labor compared with soil production.   

With this new method of growing…  

•  There is NO soil, so the product is perfectly clean!  
• There are no grains of soil/sand/grit in the final product.
• Only light rinsing is required since soil is not present. 
• Labor is reduced in washing, both at the grower end and receiver end.
• The microgreens do not get damaged with manual handling, which means a more salable product.
• Harvesting is significantly easier and can be automated and mechanized.
• The system allows for a variety of MicroGreen crops to be grown.
• Nutritional management is significantly easier since we can feed optimum nutrients directly to the seeds and young plants rather than having to inject it into the soil.
• The system allows for uniform and extremely consistent water and nutrient supply to the plants.
• Seeding of the capillary mat can be automated and mechanized, meaning lower labor costs; more uniform seed distribution, (seed cost savings!); and more uniform and healthier growth due to no overcrowding of seeds which is common with manual seeding methods.

Unlike traditional MicroGreen production, with CropKing's MicroGreen technology , there is…  

• No need for composting or mixing soils.  
• No need for filling growing beds with soil mixes.  
• No need for spreading soil on top of the seeds after planting.  
• No need for removing soil after the crop is harvested.  
• No need for replacing soil after each crop is harvested.  
• No need for manual watering of the seeds or growing beds.  
• No risk of contaminants from previous crop residue remaining in the soil growing beds.  
• No risk of soil borne insects, (since 90% of most detrimental insects carry on their reproductive cycle in the soil).  
• No soil borne diseases such as phytophera, pythium, or other bacterial diseases that are commonly found in soil.  
• No weeds!
