What is Basewell?

A groundbreaking rooting technology

The innovative Basewell product form allows growers to bring in high-quality rooted cuttings from offshore at a fraction of the cost of rooted liners. Basewell provides advanced root development with no growing media – they are ready to transplant directly into the finish container.

Basewell® technology delivers multiple benefits for the grower:

  • Simplifies processes: The bare-root cutting form allows the grower to order rooted product directly from the production farm, decreasing order lead time and maximizing flexibility in program planning.
  • Optimizes space: The grower receives a product that is ready to transplant directly into the finish container. Consequently, more production turns can be completed and expensive propagation space can be converted into profit-generating finish production space.
  • Saves labor: Basewell® technology is available in two configurations, including full strips and individual cells that are compatible with automated sticking methods. The individual cells are also suitable for non-automated production, where workers can quickly transplant the product by hand into the finish container.

Basewell® technology has been trialed on various annual and perennial crops across North America to evaluate performance against unrooted and rooted cuttings. Results show that Basewell® bare-root cuttings finish in equal or less time than an equivalent rooted cutting.

Direct stick into a finish container

One and done – fewer steps, fewer touch points, lower costs.
