FloraMatch web-software
> FloraMatch is an innovative multi-functional software, specially developed
to help nursery professionals in nurturing intensively grown ornamental crops.
> FloraMatch enables the user to create his optimal fertilization programs
based on Haifa’s off-the-shelf, or customized Flora-Power products:
- Multicote® (granular controlled- release & chloride- free nutrients) of
assorted formulae.
and
- MultiMixTM (plant nutrition products for mixing in the growth substrate) of
various formulae.
> FloraMatch guides the user in selecting his necessary products by choosing
the right ingredients to meet any desirable composition of nutritional elements,
and with any longevity.
> FloraMatch illustrates individual nutrients release-curves, predicting
the availability of nutrients to the plant throughout the longevity period,
based on expected substrate temperatures.
> FloraMatch offers a comprehensive database of nutritional requirements
of many ornamental plants, to help the user make his right choice.
> FloraMatch is easily operated over the web, thereby letting the user employ
the most updated version of the software and products lines. > FloraMatch
enables the user to save the complete nutrition scheme to his private folder
for future uses.
This progress should be regarded as an additional step made by Haifa to develop
its leading position in the domain of complete control over supplying crop nutritional
requirements.
Since the 90’s, Haifa considers the Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRF) sector
as one of best controlling means over plant nutrition, and invests in it accordingly.
Launching the FloraMatch is the latest step in establishing the Flora-Power
brand for all products and application methods dedicated to the ornamental sector.
Similar steps are being made by Haifa by focusing on specialty products, targeted
primarily for Nutrigation and foliar feeding of crops, at precise timing and
carefully checked application rates.

Moral Dilemma: This test only has one question but it's a very important
one
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an
honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will
have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line. Thoughtfulness is important
for this evaluation to be meaningful.
Ready?
Begin . . . .
You are in Florida . . .
in Miami to be exact . . .
There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.
This is a flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you're caught in
the middle of this great disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless.
You are trying to shoot career making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the
water. Nature is showing all of it's destructive fury.
You see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be swept
away with the debris.
You move closer . . . somehow the man looks familiar.
Suddenly you know who it is . . . it's George W. Bush!
And the raging waters are about to take him under, forever.
You have two options: You can save him or you can take the most dramatic photographs
of your career.
The Moral Dilemma looms!
...You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize
winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful and
influential men.
Here's the question... PLEASE give an honest answer:
Would you select colour film or would you rather go with the classic simplicity
of black and white?
