Winter greenhouse crops

Winter irrigation of plants. For traditional agriculture, winter is a time to rest and prepare fields for the next season. However, there are some growers who decide to cultivate under cover all year round. Their income from the sale of crops in winter is all the greater, the more their customers crave the crops grown then.

A bouquet of vegetables or flowers? That is the question!

Vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes are successfully grown under cover in winter, which would otherwise only be available at this time of year as preserved or frozen products, possibly imported, which is not environmentally friendly and contradicts the concern for a sustainable carbon footprint.

Demand more than offsets costs

Increased demand makes it possible to set prices that more than compensate for the cost of electricity needed to light and heat a cover crop. Another component of the bills is water – by using a well thought-out, efficient and economical way of irrigating your plants, you can significantly reduce your expenditure on this.

Drip head, water filter and fertiliser dispenser – the perfect team

Good irrigation means, above all, supplying water precisely where it is needed, i.e. close to the root system, and in quantities that the plant can assimilate. Compensating drippers are ideal for this, guaranteeing precise water dosing even in long runs. Particularly good results can be achieved with Supertif drippers, working in conjunction with drip trays. The set will be complemented by polyethylene pipes and PVC hoses for the drippers.

Supertif drippers have an automatic flushing function, but to ensure continuous, failure-free operation, the water must be properly prepared. The best solution is to use filters, such as mesh or disc filters, to stop contaminants that could clog the emitters and cause damage by drying out the plants. Watermil filters are very good. Efficient and easy to install and use, they will serve us well for many seasons.

Peace of mind for years – priceless!

A one-off investment in high-quality equipment and materials will pay dividends for many years to come. A reliable installation is always a guarantee of peace of mind and no unwanted surprises. Do you want to avoid breakdowns? Opt for materials of the highest quality, with sufficient mechanical strength, but also at a reasonable price.
