At ICL (formerly Everris) we know that grower requirements vary geographically and from crop to crop, therefore we offer a complete solutions package to design and produce growing media to our customers’ individual requirements.

These innovative mixes have been crafted by the ICL technical team who work with growers on a daily basis and know how to provide better quality crops whilst maximising return on investment.
