cultivatiOn

Since 2007 all production occurs in the new greenhouses. The company has seen a huge development in plant production as a result of which we are better able to control growth factors like water, nutrients, light and temperature.

water

water is supplied through a system of uctuating water levels which facilitates supply of the desired quantity of food elements speciďŹ cally per product. The plants are watered from below, which leaves the wax protective covering intact and avoids residues on the leaves. All water is recirculated and sterilized.

cOntainer sYstem

Plant production occurs in roll containers, the plants being placed and removed with the help of robots. A computer program allows retrieval of all data corresponding with any batch in the containers, and controls the transport vehicle which transports the containers fully automatically.


climate

The desired quantity of light in the greenhouse is adjusted with the help of two horizontal screen installations to ensure optimal plant growth. At night the screens are closed to provide an insulating value of 75%. on warm days, the height of the greenhouse combined with the ventilation windows provides the ideal cooling.

envirOnment

we are MPS-A and MPS-GAP certiďŹ ed. No gas is used in heating the greenhouses, only residual heat from an electricity generating plant. The water supply system is completely closed. In short, there is no discharge of gases, fertiliser, herbicides, pesticides or polluted water.

autOmatiOn

To produce uniform plants, all batches are sorted with the help of a camera. during the camera sorting process the plants are placed in three different size categories in the container. The automated process means that all logistics steps and the camera sorting function independently.
