AZIENDE SELEZIONATE
MYPLANTECH 2025
The selected companies for the Myplantech 2025 edition offer interesting solutions for the most diverse sectors. Important contributions are made to the protection of soil, increasingly threatened by pollution and water shortage with different ecologoical solutions to promote optimal plant growth and prevent diseases. There are also several proposals for the latest technologies for off-ground crops and process digitalization: among the most innovative are those that allow sensors to dialogue with AI and transfer data in real time. And more, instrumentation for research centres to implement crop growth and health, and new applications of robotics, such as on golf courses. Moreover some solutions for landscape design, from vertical walls to drainage floors and real-time land measurement systems.
Adaptation to climate change and its consequences, from water shortage to plant disease control, are the priority goals of current research to achieve concrete solutions.

The company ensures low maintenance costs.
Optimized processes for the soilless farming _ Aqua Farm
The company Benefit Aqua Farm, presents an innovative aquaponic system (patent pending) more efficient and ecological, thanks to a new biofilter concept and the optimization of the circularity of processes. The research of the start-up is oriented to the search for synthetic solutions for plant growth that with technological support allows to standardize processes and reduce costs with an average energy consumption of 1 kWh/ kg of product for agro-industrial productions.
Circularity and water saving _ Arber Horticulture
AR- Containermulch, distributed by Arber Horticulture, is the mixture composed mainly of fiber and wood chips used as a cover material in pot or on the ground. It is thermally sanitized to avoid plant health risks. This mixture reduces water evaporation and is a thermal insulator that protects the roots by increasing the growth of the plant. It is biodegradable and give back nutrients to the soil. It also helps to reduce erosion and the use of chemical herbicides.
Verical green _ Bio Soil Expert
The Italian company BioSoil Expert has been dealing with dry garden and vertical green for years. Garden Cage is an innovative system of vertical green structural that allows the construction of a double facade. It is self-supporting, but very stable, designed to withstand even strong winds.
The substrate of growing green reduces water consumption. Garden Cage can also be used as a perimeter fence or sound-absorbing visual barrier and is an ecological corridor for developing biodiversity.
The robot for golf courses _Cormik Spa
The Rangepicker robot, distributed by Cormik, controlled remotely, collects golf balls independently according to a user-defined programming. When the battery is low and the ball basket is full, the robot will go back to the charging station or to unload the collected balls. The robot’s charging station is also a point for unloading collected balls. Once the ball basket is full, the robot returns to the discharge station, unloads the balls and starts collecting again according to the programmed schedule. Zero direct emissions: 100% electric operation ensures zero impact. The batteries use LiFePO4 rechargeable Lithium Iron Phosphate cells to guarantee a long machine operating life.
The Magnificent 3 _ Greenva
The new product of the Albagarden line is the result of research carried out by the Technical and Technological Institute of Villa d’Agri (Pz) and the Agricom team. The formula Ze3o exploits the synergistic power of the three elements: zeolite, sulphur and copper and is usable for all types of plants, providing a complete and balanced nutrition for healthy and lush growth. Zeolite is a valuable ally for the soil, able to retain water and essential nutrients. Gradual release improves soil structure by increasing porosity and aeration and also promoting root development. Sulphur is crucial for protein synthesis and chlorophyll formation, as well as fighting off parasites. Finally, copper is a vital microelement that promotes photosynthesis and cellular respiration by providing a barrier against fungi and bacteria.
Innovative materials for the landscape _ Heidelberg Materials Italy Concrete Spa
The conscious use of water as a valuable asset is a priority for Heidelberg Materials (formerly Italcementi), which has long been focusing its research on water-saving solutions in its materials. i.idro DRAIN is the very high drainage capacity material for outdoor flooring. This concrete, designed for sidewalks, bike paths and parking lots, also has thermal properties and reduces urban heat islands in summer by up to 20% compared to asphalt.
Natural protection _ Ital-Agro
The PFnPO Systemic Fungicide from Ital-Agro has a natural composition based on phosphorus and potassium, substances useful for the development and optimal growth of plants. The special manufacturing process makes potassium phosphorate a systemic fungicide that can be transferred into the plant, especially useful against the peronospores of ornamental plants. The plant over time manages to degrade the compound by assimilating the most useful elementary elements for its development.
Last generation substrates _ Italiana Terricci Gruppo Valagussa
The Environment division of the Valagussa Italiana Terricci Group has developed the Pasteurized Compost, a substrate worked out by the R&D laboratory for tests and trials in the agronomic and biological sector, which is also used in the fight against weeds and micro-bacteria.
