“De Rutven” is a family-run business in Wernhout, North Brabant, where Arno and Sonja Domen have been growing a wide range of plants in the typical sandy soil of the Zundert region since 1986. They specialise in container-grown and transplant trees, as well as forestry and hedging plants. They also grow young plant material for further cultivation, including Taxus baccata, Picea omorika, Fagus sylvatica and Carpinus betulus.
Why does De Rutven Tree Nursery choose DCM?
“DCM’s organic fertilisers have proven their value in the cultivation of our nursery crops. We achieve good results with DCM VIVISOL® MINIGRAN® and DCM COPRON by incorporating them into the seedbed before sowing. Compared with only applying additional fertiliser after sowing, this application supports good growth, including stem thickness, as well as good root development.”
Why does De Rutven Tree Nursery enjoy working with DCM?
“Over the years, we have carried out several practical demonstrations together with DCM, which have provided us with valuable insights for the future. DCM fertilisers deliver very good results. In the cultivation of yew and beech, for example, we have had very positive experiences with DCM NK-MIX. This long-acting fertiliser ensures good growth helps the plants maintain an attractive colour. Each year, we keep our soil pH at the right level with DCM GROEN-KALK® and DCM ZEEWIERKALK KORREL.”
