Terra Aquatica (GHE)

Terra Aquatica, previously known as General Hydroponics Europe (GHE), is a prominent manufacturer of hydroponic nutrients and systems in Europe, established in France in 1994 by William Texier and Noucetta Kehdi. The founders first gained recognition for their innovative hydroponic farm, the White Owl WaterFarm, which supplied Michelin-starred restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area in the early 1990s.

Originating in Fleurance, Gers, France, GHE started in 1995 with the production of fertilizers in a modest setup but quickly grew from a two-person operation to a team of over 30. The company's ethos combines hydroponic technology with organic and ecological sensitivities, a concept they call "Bioponics." This approach uses the purest fertilizer ingredients, many food-grade, combined with organic elements to create living nutrient solutions, integrating plants and their environment into a holistic system. This method negates the need for pesticides and harsh chemicals, fostering a symbiotic cultivation process.

Terra Aquatica offers a range of products that cater to different aspects of plant growth and protection, including natural silicate powders, fulvic acid, ligno-humates from recycled wood, liquid nettle brew, seaweed extract, and beneficial microorganisms. The company focuses on meeting the specialized needs of growers in various environments, producing products for food, medicine, and floral purposes worldwide. Terra Aquatica continues to be a leader in the Bioponics field, exploring sustainable and efficient farming practices.
