Metrop is a Dutch brand of highly concentrated liquid fertilizers, founded in 2006 by Agrotechniek BV in IJsselstein, Netherlands. The company is known for its unique liquid NPK fertilizer formulas, which are not offered by any other competitor. These formulas allow growers to use significantly less fertilizer than with other brands, resulting in cost savings and environmental benefits. Metrop is popular in the cannabis cultivation market, but is also used by professional farmers in other sectors.[1]
The power of the Metrop fertilizers lies not only in the liquid 'impossible to make' NPK combinations, but also in the addition of trace elements. It is these trace elements that ensure that a crop can produce all kinds of substances to protect and strengthen the plant. As a result, even crops grown on hydroponic systems have a strong structure and delicious taste in the end product. That is why this fertilizer line is very popular in hydroponics farming.
As standard, all Metrop fertilizers contain a wetting agent so that these liquid fertilizers are applied to the crop as a foliar fertilizer on open land or for strawberries in the garden. This means that only 3 litres of a product are used for an entire hectare or just 5ml in a 5 litre spray tank.
All Metrop products are BioMineral and Biodegradable.
