materials, and the growth period for various

plant species is around 7 days.

“We offer a product that is unique

in this market, and offer great added

value,” Zuzana Šitavancová, director of

the company, explained. “Our goal was

to create a cultivation system that would

add to any space through its modern and

functional design, thereby also being

available to a large spectrum of users.”

By purchasing these hydroponic systems

of their employees, but it also offers them

new benefits in being able to get their

vitamins and minerals through an organic

the employees to take home, or be used to

make a quickie and healthy snack on the job.

MoraviaLab s.r.o. offers servicing of

these systems all over Czechia as well as

additional services such as, sale of presprouted microgreens to companies, sale of

the biomats and seeds used in the systems,

as well as the collection of used biomats,

which are then used as feed in poultry farms.
