Bij veel Miltoniakwekers treedt uitval op vanaf de eindfase van de opkweek en tijdens koeling en afkweekfase.

Many Miltonia growers suffer losses starting from the final cultivation phase and during the cooling and 'afkweekfase'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bij Phalaenopsis kent men drie teeltstadia: de opkweek, de koeling en de afkweek.
  • Phalaenopsis cultivation involves three phases: growing, cooling, and finishing.

completion of the growth phase


Explanation:
Explanation:
for 'afkweekfase'
From http://www.dehoogorchideeen.nl/bedrijf.html:
"Koelinstallatie
De koelinstallatie zorgt voor het in bloei trekken van de planten en het rustig afkweken voor een betere houdbaarheid." (NL pages - 'Bedrijf')
Cooling system
The cooling system ensures that the plants flower and that the growing process can be completed steadily to safeguard longevity. (EN page - 'Business')

In view of Ron's contribution, perhaps "completion of the growth phase" (see above "..growing process can be completed"..) is a better option.

disagree  Ron Hartong PhD (X): growth phase = opkweek; I wonder how you would translate 'de eindfase van de opkweek' earlier in the sentence given by Bracha.
