It was Allen’s entry into hydroponic growing media in 1996 that brought Connie into A.M.A. Plastics.  Since then, our hydroponics business has grown and products have been added.  In 2006, we created our A.M.A. Hydroponics division to make our commitment to our growing hydroponics supply business easily recognizable.  A.M.A. Hydroponics operates a segregated, restricted access warehouse using sanitation procedures that reduce the risk of disease spread. Our core remains substrates and the newest addition to our substrate line-up is truly a technological change for our industry – BVB Sublime offers increased yield, controllability, sustainability and profitability for growers – Ask us about The New Substrate; And don’t forget our clips and twines.

Dry Hydroponics – Growing Lettuce & Herbs Profitably

Dry Hydroponics is suitable for short-cycle crops, like lettuce, herbs and flowers. In cultivation ponds filled with nutrient rich water, the crops grow in cropholders placed on floats. This patented design allows crops to acquire sufficient amounts of water, light, nutrients, CO2 and oxygen at all times. The crops grow in a natural way without necessary human intervention.

The cultivation system

Dry Hydroponics distinguishes the overground part of the crop between the underground part. The designs provides an airy and light environment for the overground part, an ideal microclimate for the development of strong and healthy leaves. To the underground part of the plant, generous amounts of water and oxygen are always available.

Furthermore, the insulating effect of the floats and the generous amounts of available water not only provide an optimal cultivation climate, it also makes Dry Hydroponics a particularly reliable cultivation system.

Dry Hydroponics’ new approach to crop protection is based on the prevention of situations that ordinarily harm crops. This is achieved in such a degree that intervention is hardly necessary.

The plants are also free from sand, soil, and weeds. Dry Hydroponics is such a clean approach to growing crops that they can be sealed immediately and are ready-to-eat.
