Growers can increase revenues while lowering their costs with the Ecke SNAP™ System.

This supply-chain revolution starts with receiving pre-stuck callused cuttings in ES media and trays (ES78) directly from Ecke Ranch’s offshore farms.

When compared to standard unrooted cuttings (URCs), ES78 reduces labor, energy, crop time, materials and propagation risk. It is more affordable than a standard rooted cutting.

Flexibility to grow more profitsRemove 3 costly phases from your propagation process and use the extra propagation space to turn another crop.

Smooth peak laborBecause cuttings arrive pre-stuck in ES media, you require fewer people when the truck arrives.

By eliminating the need to rush unrooted cuttings to the cooler and stick them within 24 hours, you can reduce staffing up for peak delivery days. Ecke SNAP System’s ability to retain moisture and thrive will allow you to labor-level your work week and reduce the need for peak training and crop yield loss from inexperienced labor.

Two weeks less bench time and other operational benefitsWith two weeks of less heat, water and bench space, you will be amazed by the savings. And you don’t need to purchase trays and fill media. You have less materials handling, warehousing and purchasing of hard goods. Even the Ecke SNAP System’s in-bound packing materials are designed for re-use for your outbound shipments. And because your normal growing process can be used for ES78, your same cultural environment is appropriate. You can operate as if ES78 is “just another media”.

An innovation well worth a trialMost genera, including geraniums, poinsettias, and spring annuals are now available via Ecke truck. Ask about delivery routes, timing and trial packs. In development for about 8 years, the right cutting can make all the difference.

Ecke SNAP System (ES) includes:

• Propagation tray with 78 SNAP cells (ES78, 3 strips x 26 SNAP cells) that ship dense, then can be split into strips for easy spacing

• Each SNAP cell includes ES media to protect and promote rooting and ES cuttings pre-stuck offshore and callused for quicker rooting

• Reliable Ecke logistics• Excellent Ecke customer and technical support• Landed pricing (cutting, IPF, truck freight)

Reduce your risk with callusedSNAP System callused plants enjoy two more weeks of high energy tropical sunshine to provide an even better plant than URCs rooted in the north. And ES78 has reduced plant shock, extra grading, super charged media, and has been grown by Ecke experts in Guatemala and Mexico. As a result, disease, leaf yellowing and other risks have been significantly mitigated because Ecke SNAP System cuttings have already formed the protective callus when they arrive. As bench loss and other risks are reduced, your productive yield and profits can increase.
