A harvest rotation is a arrant opportunity for thoroughly clean the greenhouse , which is necessary during the present times when computer virus - related problems are on the hike . A fresh start is a elemental requirement for a healthy crop .
There no longer is such a affair as a standard approaching , aver Barry van Leeuwen of contract firm De 3 Koningen . “ Many growers are need us and their craw consultant for advice . We customize our work based on their crop , disease force per unit area , and the grower ’s preferences . This path we develop recommendations for disinfection and cleanup , ” say Van Leeuwen .
He manages the family business concern together with his brother Dennis in the town of Steenbergen in the Province of Noord - Brabant in the Netherlands . They took over the company three years ago from their uncles , the De Koning brothers , who gave the company its name .
“ A clean greenhouse is a central decide factor for future crop output . cultivator are well aware of this , but proper cleanup takes metre . We remain to see customers who have very tight schedules because they do not want to miss any production days , but when a serious disease strikes your craw , you ’ll lose far more production , ” he says .
GS-4The contractor uses fixed protocol that have been agreed on in advance . First , the glasshouse is emptied and all vegetation is remove , keep an eye on by alternate rounds of disinfection and cleaning depending on need and the grower ’s wishes . “ Fogging with formaldehyde or hydrogen peroxide is a fixed component .
