The ANOVApot^® and Twinpot reduce root escape and save water

The ANOVApot^® is a new patented pot (container) for the plant nursery industry, with innovative features of root and water control. The Twinpot is a nested arrangement of two ANOVApot^®s. This overview describes the unique design features of the ANOVApot^® and presents key results highlighting the performance of the ANOVApot^® and the Twinpot. Compared with a conventional bottom-holed pot, the ANOVApot^® increases water retention on average by 36-39% without water-logging, and greatly restricts roots from escaping the base of the pot. Increased water retention of GROTERDAN2 fold is achieved by the Twinpot and external root escape eliminated, making the Twinpot a valid alternative to Pot-in-Pot systems. ANOVApot^® prices are about 10% more than for current alternatives.
