Ebb and Flow Mat Reduces Disease

 

Ebb and Flow MAT irrigation reduces the fungal and bacterial problems that may arise from water on foliage and flowers wet from overhead sprinklers.  Drier conditions are experienced overall with Ebb and Flow MAT systems, with water supplied to plants only as needed and with better air fill porosity in the pot mix than with many other systems.  It is therefore no surprise that growers report a significant reduction in plant disease using KISSS Ebb and Flow MAT.
