This advanced propagation system roots cuttings offshore in special biodegradable paper bags and avoids substrate use in this way.
The bags made from cellulose fibres are entirely free from fossil-based plastics and are fully biodegradable.
Their production needs only a minimum of energy.
The compact size of the rooted cuttings ensures efficient transport, reduces space requirements, and generates significantly less waste than traditional rooted cuttings.
Delivered in paper strips, the cuttings are ready for immediate use by growers. They can be potted manually on conveyor belts, tables, or potting machines. Alternatively, the process can be fully automated with a cutting-edge transplanting solution developed in collaboration with TTA, a Dutch automation specialist. This innovative machine precisely cuts the paper strips, grips the cuttings, and automatically pots them into growing media.
The RCS 2.0 system made its debut at IPM 2025. Following the launch, a pilot phase will gather insights from practical applications across a range of crops. Comprehensive Patent Protection. Selecta One has ensured that RCS 2.0 and the key processes involved in production and handling are protected through a robust patent. In addition to selling its genetics in RCS 2.0
Selecta will offer system licensing.
