IPM ESSEN, a leading international platform for the global horticultural industry, once again demonstrated its importance by bringing together growers, suppliers, researchers, and decision-makers from across Europe and beyond. The annual fair provided a valuable setting for professional exchange, innovation scouting, and forward-looking discussions on the future of intensive and sustainable horticulture.
At the Haifa North West Europe stand, the team presented key elements of Haifa’s portfolio, each supporting different aspects of modern growing systems:
- Water-soluble fertilizers, enabling precise and efficient nutrient delivery
- HaifaStim™ solutions, supporting rooting, recovery, and plant resilience
- Multicote™ controlled-release fertilizers, providing predictable, long-term nutrition with reduced leaching in growing media
- Tailored nutrition solutions for substrates, potting soils, and specialized applications
Beyond individual products, discussions focused on how these solutions can be combined into coherent nutrition strategies. Visitors showed growing interest in integrated approaches that align fertilizer choice, application methods, and crop needs throughout the production cycle.
IPM ESSEN proved to be an important opportunity for listening, exchanging perspectives, and jointly exploring future directions with partners and customers. We thank all those who visited the Haifa stand and contributed to the open, professional dialogue that continues to shape progress across the horticultural sector. As Benedikt Hess, Sales Manager for Germany, aptly summarized the atmosphere of the fair: Aufbruchstimmung – a clear sense of momentum and readiness to move forward.
