At the International Plant Fair (IPM) 2026 in Essen, ICL Growing Solutions will demonstrate its leading role in the area of technologically sophisticated fertilizer concepts – with a focus on new substrates as well as water and nutrient management.
At its stand in Hall 3, 3B57, the company will be presenting innovative products, technologies and expertise relating to efficient and practical systems for professional horticulture. A highlight at the ICL stand is the new, comprehensive specialist brochure on fertilization and water management for new peat-reduced and peat-free substrates. On over 50 pages, it offers practical insights into how nutrient supply and water balance can be optimally coordinated with modern, increasingly peat-reduced and peat-free substrates. The brochure is available free of charge to all trade visitors.
ICL is thus addressing key market trends: The demand for alternative substrates is constantly growing, and gardeners need solutions that ensure a secure supply of nutrients, stable cultivation conditions and high efficiency.
New product developments
ICL is showing several new products at IPM 2026, also from the lawn/turf&landscape sector:
- Gronamic® 6-2-4: A combination of fertilization and soil activation – ideal for gardening and lawns.
- Faster biodegradable coatings for controlled-release fertilizers: This technology has been officially certified by the EU and represents a milestone in the sustainable development of coated lawn fertilizers.
- Quick Seed Pro: An easy-to-use, all-in-one lawn repair kit.
ICL provides strong impetus for sustainable crop production
The IPM 2026 is all about climate change, resource scarcity and sustainable production – topics that ICL has been actively shaping for years. The company offers practical advice from specialists, explains individual nutrient strategies and presents its latest technologies. With innovative substrate solutions, intelligent fertilization and pioneering coating technologies, ICL underlines its claim to lead horticulture sustainably into the future.
“ICL Growing Solutions is looking forward to welcoming trade visitors from all over the world to Essen from January 27th to 30th, 2026. At stand 3B57 in Hall 3, experts will be available for personal advice, technical discussions and individual questions about new substrates, fertilization and water management,” says the company.
