MEAPLANT, the brainchild of Caterina ALLERA and Enrico MASELLA from Italy, emerges triumphant at the International Exhibition of Inventions. Recognized with the prestigious Prize of the Italian Delegation, bestowed by Mr. Stefano LORENZONI, Representative of the Exhibition for Italy, MEAPLANT signifies a transformative leap in agriculture.
MEAPLANT INNOVATION is a kit for growing plants in which the soil is replaced by an innovative substrate made up of a mesh of threads made with materials for use food. Edible plants and even ornamental ones can grow together, thriving.
This new technology is patented in many countries: Europe, USA, China, India, Australia…, allowing for an environmentally sustainable cultivation system, autonomously, which can be used by everyone everywhere.
The kit is modular and it is composed of channels, supports, an irrigation system, a tank and a pump for recirculating of the nutrient solution. Accessories for customized models are also available.
The KIT is mainly intended for all those who wish to have their own vegetable garden on the terrace, on the balcony, in urban spaces, as well as in the countryside. It can also be composed into large cultivation spaces by connecting multiple modules together. With our system, it will be simple and fun to grow in a small space, without soil, without effort, and without giving up your free time. You will finally be able to grow safely without the use of pesticides and eat fresh, tasty, and vitamin-rich vegetables.

I'm amazed at what Agroponix has done for my small farm. Their hydroponic systems have allowed me to grow crops all year round, even in harsh weather conditions. It's truly a game-changer for anyone in the agriculture business!
COO Farmland
Agroponix's hydroponic nutrient solutions are top-notch. My plants have never looked healthier, and the convenience of their products is unmatched. I highly recommend their services to any hydroponic enthusiast.
Jessica Liem
I attended one of Agroponix's hydroponic workshops, and it was a fantastic learning experience. Their experts are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I left with the confidence to start my own hydroponic garden.
Yes compared to traditional intensive cultivation. Our system is made of recyclable materials, it recycles water and mineral salts without dispersing fertilizers into the environment. It avoids the salinization of the land, the pollution of water resources and does not cause the eutrophication of surface waters. It is low cost because it does not require complex technologies.
In Europe the legislation provides that organic cultivation can only be certified if carried out in the soil,while in the States it is possible to certify organic cultivation even if carried out without soil. In soilless there are no soil parasites and no pesticides are necessary. Furthermore, polluting elements may be present in the soil.
In the soilless cultivation the plants are nourished with correctly dosed mineral salts for luxuriant growth
and production, rich in nutritional elements.
Cultivating your own vegetable garden with MEAPLANT innovation will give you the certainty of
a healthy and quality harvest
The fertilizers used in the MEAPLANT innovation are mineral salts: salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium etc., which are also present in organic fertilizers of animal or plant origin.
Salinization is an accumulation of salts in the soil or growing substrate which occurs following subsequent fertilization cycles. In the soil it causes a long-term loss of fertility by drying it out. In soilless cultivation substrates, plant growth is compromised. To avoid this, it is necessary to repeatedly wash the substrate with abundant quantities of water, which will then be poured enriched with salts into the environment. The MEAPLANT substrate has been designed not to absorb salinity.
Many phenomena in Nature involve trapped drops of water: the formation of dew drops on a spider’s web, the capture of drops of water on the spines of cacti or the movement of droplets on plant fibres. These phenomena have been studied and explored for various technological applications: from microfluidics for medical and electronic equipment, to harvest nets of the water drops from fog in the desert areas. MEAPLANT’s innovation for the first time in history has applied these physical principles to make soilless cultivation simple, efficient and suitable for everyone.
Our cultivation substrate is made up of a mesh of threads made with materials for food use which are hydrophobic and chemically inert.
The drops of water and mineral salts, supplied by an irrigation system, remain suspended on the threads for the balance that it is established between the surface tension of the drops and their weight.
The videos below show how the drops supplied by an irrigation system are captured by a mesh of interwoven threads as happens in our growing substrate. When the drops increase in mass and become greater than the surface tension resistance force, they precipitate inside the tank.
