In last month’s Oasis Grower Solutions News, we talked about product innovations that help you grow, from propagation to postharvest. This month, we’re covering the other half of the equation: resources designed to ensure you enjoy all the benefits that our innovations offer.
Here at Oasis Grower Solutions, our approach is and always has been to provide breeders, growers and researchers more than just the products they want and need.
For more than 55 years, we’ve worked to provide you with the resources and support you need to optimize every input and every product — whether it carries the Oasis Grower Solutions logo or not.
This month, we want to introduce you to the many resources we’ve designed to help you grow more efficiently, sustainably and profitably.
The All-New OasisGrowerSolutions.com
At the top of our resource list this month is our new website. Let us be clear: This isn’t just a few buttons added to our old site here and there. Launched on June 30th, this all-new site was more than a year in the making. More importantly, it was driven by the practical needs and requests of our customers across all the markets we serve.
As Vijay Rapaka, Ph.D., our Director of Global Grower Operations & Research, said when the site launched, “We really wanted to create a site that serves as a knowledge hub for people in the horticulture and agriculture industries and helps fulfill our purpose to provide innovative, real-world solutions for their problems.”
When you enter the new OasisGrowerSolutions.com, you’ll immediately know you’ve found a site designed with you in mind — whether you’re a bedding plant producer, an indoor vertical lettuce farmer, a nursery grower or a biotechnology researcher. The new site offers distinct, easy-access market segments for Floriculture, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), Nursery and AgBiotech.
Within each market, you’ll find information and market-specific resources about crops, propagation and cultivation methods, and more.
You’ll also find in-depth information on all the product categories we discussed last month, as they relate to your market.
From propagation solutions for vegetative cuttings, hydroponic cultivation or tissue culture, to wetting agent production aids, and postharvest quality protectors, it’s all here. Information and resources created for you and your market. And we have more planned for the months ahead.
Our Grower Support Materials
If you’re an Oasis Grower Solutions customer, you already know that our library of Grower Support materials has been expanding steadily (and beautifully) for the past year and more. For every product we offer our customers, we also offer information on its features and benefits, usage instructions, product applications and any research updates that we believe can help ensure your success.
With the launch of the new website, those resources are easier than ever to access, download, and print or email to your team. When you’re on product pages on the website, you’ll see download buttons for primary product resources, such as Product Overview and Product Usage sheets, but there’s also much more.
Check out the page for our latest substrate innovation, OASIS® RhizoPlug™ Tray, and you’ll find multiple downloads from basic overview and usage to production applications and crop propagation recommendations for your favorite annuals based on trials at our own on-campus Research, Innovation & Development (RI&D) greenhouse facility in Kent, Ohio, USA. And, of course, you’ll find our 10 Reasons to Switch to OASIS® RhizoPlug™.
CEA growers out there, you’ll find the same kinds of market- and crop-specific resources for controlled environment cultivation, from our low-carbon-footprint and climate-optimized OASIS® AeroSubstrates™ to how-to videos on initial watering of our engineered substrates to ensure nutrient availability for CEA crops from day one. (Our instructions for initial saturation of your substrate with nutrient solution, not just water, are for your benefit, not ours!)
Whatever market or markets you grow in, you can also go straight to our Resources page and find an expandable list of all the downloadable resources and videos created to help you grow.
Your Greatest Resource
Of all the resources we provide, both online and off, one stands out above all the rest: our people. One of our Territory Sales Managers may be the face of Oasis Grower Solutions for you. Maybe it’s Dr. Rapaka, our Plant Scientist Erin Yafuso, Ph.D., or our Product Applications Specialist Sarah Miller. But there’s a whole team of people behind those horticulture and CEA experts, all working together to get you the tools, resources and support you need to excel.
From our leadership team to our operations and warehouse crews, to customer service, RI&D, product applications, greenhouse staff and more, our people care about your success.
If you had a chance to stop by our booth at Cultivate’25 earlier this month, we hope our message came through loud and clear. Oasis Grower Solutions exists to solve your problems and help you excel. Thank you for stopping by to see us. But don’t wait until the next trade show to get in touch. Do it now.
