FilterPump

Designed to pump and filter water without the need for tedious filter cleaning or backflushing, the FilterPump is ideal for drawing irrigation water from ponds or lagoons. The FilterPump is designed around a submersible pump, but with an ingenious addition. At the base of the pump is an active filtration unit. Linked to the central shaft is an additional impellor which uses filtered water to wash the filter screen up to 60 times a second, keeping the screen free of debris. As there is no debris build up on the filter, the system pressure is always constant.

Substraatbak 8 Liter / Substrate Trough 8 Liter

The 8 liter substrate container for strawberries, with an overall dimension of 48 cm has the same length as a number of existing substrate containers. The width, height and content dimensions have been adjusted and improved. With an inside width of 15 cm and a height of 14 cm the plant/substrate ratio is optimal. The content has been reduced to 8 litres. Because of this the substrate is better operable and the strawberry cultivator needs less substrate. Dependent on the desired way the light falls and the closeness of the plants, the strawberry cultivators can place the containers either against each other or at a distance from each other in the channels. The container is delivered to size for various gutters and platforms.

TriPher

ThriPher lures contain a sexual aggregation pheromone to attract western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). For a period of 4 to 6 weeks, both male and female adult thrips are attracted and lured away from their shelters. This pheromone is specific to western flower thrips; so harmless thrips and beneficial insects are left alone. The use of ThriPher in combination with the blue BUG-SCAN® sticky traps allows detecting thrips at an early stage. The pheromone lure attracts two to three times as many thrips to the sticky trap compare to using the sticky trap alone, which leads to an earlier detection. This enables growers to control more efficiently thrips population with natural enemies or with chemical crop protection products.

GXP mini bracket

The GXP10 motor gearbox of De Gier Drive Systems is the best choice for new and existing greenhouses that require a reliable drive system for side or roof roll screen systems. Now this GXP can be equipped with a mini bracket to guide the system along a Ø32mm tube. This mini bracket makes it possible to place a number of independent GXP gearboxes on the same guide-tube. This way the “casing” that houses the GXP10 gearboxes can be kept compact as well. Because of the small dimensions of the GXP10 it is no problem to build the GXP system into a sidewall with a column dimension of 120mm.

Kolombeugel Blue-line tandheugelsysteem / Clams

The spans and heights in Venlo greenhouses are getting more and more impressive. Because of this column sizes of 50 or 60 mm are often no longer sufficient, and 70,80 or 100mm sizes are no exception anymore. De Gier Drive Systems has developed special clamps for use with the Blue-line truss-rail ventilation system. These clamps for the THG52 RK and the THG75 RK make it possible to implement truss-rail ventilation systems in today’s modern Venlo greenhouses. It is also good to know that this Blue-line ventilation system requires less maintenance then conventional truss-rail ventilation systems and comes with a 3-year warranty.

MultiPosblok

The fitting of the multifunctional MultiPosblok into our Motor Gearboxes is very simple. Equipped with an encoder and solid state hard- and software, it is able to communicate the position of the system to the climate computer with micrometer precision. The start and stop position of the ventilation or screening system can be set to perfection by means of simple adjustments on the MultiPosblok. Moisture or dirt does not effect the MultiPosblok. The extremely exact position feedback of the MultiPosblok is the solution for sensitive greenhouse products. The MultiPosblok also provides the intelligent position feedback for the Bleu-Control 700D motor control system (under development). This control will give extra functions such as; torque control, synchronise running control and maintenance information. Connecting the Blue-Control 700D to the MultiPosblok is a simple plug and play matter.

Because of the large enclosed drainage channel the gutter has a large drainage capacity. The enclosed channel makes algae growth and root outgrowth things of the past. The cultivation medium is encased in the gutter form. Extra advantages: 1.independed of support capacity and stability ground; 2.provides better work position: easy to transport the slabs, drain, plant, attach lines to, lead lines under the gutter, etc.; 3.suitable for (semi-)enclosed greenhouse or air hoses; 4.easy crop rotation.

Elektrische warmwaterketel                                                  SHORTLISTED

At first sight a peculiar way to reduce energy costs. Nevertheless this electrical boiler is a logical addition to other installations, like a gas boiler to produce heat, and a Total Energy installation to produce electricity. The boiler only works when there is a surplus of electricity on the grid. The electricity company (Tennet) pays any one that helps to reduce the surplus. This system is mainly suitable for greenhouses that produce a substantial part of their heat requirement with a gas fueled boilers and do not need a high light intensity.

Select Teeltconcept® - Meerlagenteelt                                  SHORTLISTED

A greenhouse of approximately nine meters high, is divided into two storeys. The upper storey contains one layer of rolling tables (conventional greenhouse / container construction) and is lighted during the day with assimilation lights. The lower floor contains three layers of containers, and is lighted during the night. Air (and thus energy and humidity) exchange between the two storeys is possible by means of ventilators. The air flowing to the lower storey can be heated, cooled, actively dehumidified and if necessary, humidified. During the day it is dark in the lower storey. The air that is heated by the sun and / or assimilation lights is transported from the upper storey to the lower storey. In the night the energy of the assimilation lights of the lower storey is transported by means of ventilators to the upper storey. There is exchange of energy and humidity. But because of the special construction between the two floors, there is no exchange of light possible. Project: Hoogenboom Young Plants, Phalaenopis plants

HAWE - Newly designed tunnel tube

The spans in greenhouse construction are getting ever larger. As a result of this development, HAWE has designed a new tunnel tube. The tunnel tube is a rail tube across which the roller containers roll into a second layer of crops or across a tank in the nursery area. Where until recently a maximum span of 4½ metres was possible, it is now possible to bridge a span of 5 metres. As this tunnel tube is made from steel plates, this solution is cheaper than one made from steel tubes.

HAWE - New forks for pot robot

In order to separate the plants that have been picked up before they are placed on the conveyor belt, a pushing fork has been developed for the pot robot. This also carefully loosens the plants that have become stuck to each other. This keeps movement of and damage to the plant to a minimum. A new fork has also been produced in which the pot hangs more securely. The pot is held firmly by tongs in the fork.

HAWE - Pot retarding unit

A pot retarding unit has been developed for the pot robot for plants that quickly become stuck to each other. When picking up the pots, this unit grabs the first row of pots up, while the second row of pots is held back. A partition has been integrated in the pot robot, which holds the next row back before the pot fork drops. In this way, the first row can be picked up without the following plants being pulled with it.

HAWE - Stick insertion position

Developments in delivery systems are moving apace. It is increasingly important for delivery systems to buffer each plant individually. To protect these plants, they are transported through the greenhouse in a transport vase. HAWE has developed a unit that can automatically push the pot plant upwards out of the vase, quickly and without damaging it. Plant handlings, such as inserting sticks and tying up, can thus be carried out even more quickly. It is also possible to pick the entire plant out of this unit. The vases are transported in a continuous stream. The unit is low-noise and wear proof.

HAWE - Transport support

More frequent use of a cup system is being made in the automatic thinning out of plants. In order to protect hanging leaves during automatic thinning out, an adjustable holder is placed on the cup to support the leaves. Thanks to the design of the holder, the edge of the pot remains free so that the pot remains easily accessible for the pot fork. The pot fork can automatically tip the pots out of the cup and place them in the container. This keeps disruptions to a minimum.

Stomata monitoring

Involved with plant evaporation and CO2 assimilation, a plant's stomata play a crucial role, actually constituting a plant's regulating mechanism to stay balanced with its environment. Within the framework of the Aircokas concept, an innovative soft sensor has been developed by Hoogendoorn in cooperation with WUR Glastuinbouw to measure the behaviour of the stomata. This provides growers with a unique instrument, as it gives them an insight into the plant's behaviour under different climate circumstances in the greenhouse, amongst others stress situations. This sensor is being tested in a pilot project and should be available towards the end of 2007.

HC mix                                                                                     SHORTLISTED

In the first two months after potting, it costs the phalaenopsis growers large effort to get the stock of nitrogening to a sufficient level. On the other hand the PH level during this stage is quite high. These two factors can cause an inferior growth of the phaleanopsis. After experiments, Horticoop has developed the HC mix, a special addition to bark which ensures optimum growth. Especially the vegetative growth will be influenced. The assimilation of the plant will be better and therefore the colour of the plant will be significantly dark. Moreover the HC mix lowers pH level. As a result of this the plant will better absorb the phosphate and will obtain a better root system.

------crop protection------------

Nematode SPS: Slug Potato System

Specialists at Horticoop developed a new way of fighting slugs. Starting point is to entice the plague towards “a bearer”, containing the nematode. (a natural enemy of the slug) A potato slice (bearer) with the slug parasitical eels grafted upon there, seems to provide the best result. With the right potato, nematode and several additions, a new system is born. The potato slices are placed among the crop. The slug eats from the potato slice. Together with the food, the nematode enters the slug’s body and releases a bacterium that kills the slug. A spraying licence is not necessary, since natural opponents are used. This stimulates the use of natural enemies in the widest sense of the word.

Growcorns is used in the latest generation of orchid mixtures. This material retains moisture and nutrients better than bark. The product ensures their constant availability, resulting in an optimum root climate. An important factor in orchid substrates is to create a humid environment in an open structure, not a wet environment. Plant growth and colour are better when Growcorns is used. Trials seem to indicate that a higher percentage of branches is produced in Phalaenopsis culture. If used properly, Growcorns does not lead to loss of structure.

Amino Power

Organic Bio-Stimulator with 50% Amino Acid AMINO POWER is a liquid organic fertilizer obtained by indulgent enzymatic hydrolysis of natural protein. The production process guarantees the presence of essential amino acids and a high nitrogen content (>9%) consisting only of amino acid nitrogen. Because of its viscosity (>1’000mPas) AMINO POWER has the advantage that it sticks on leaves very well. Therefore it is widly used as foliar fertilizer in combination with other water-soluble fertilizers and in combination with almost all commercial plant protection agents to enhance efficacy. Through quick absorbance by leafs and transfer to the plant tissues, AMINO POWER amino acids act as bio-stimulant and support for plant recovery during climatic or biotic stress. As a result of increased photosynthesis and sugar production AMINO POWER produces a quality and quantity increase in fruit growth. AMINO POWER improves the resorption of trace metal fertilizers (example Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu) due to the activity of amino acid as natural chelator. The use as foliar fertilizer supports the plant to better absorb minerals fertilizers and nutrients naturally present in the soil. AMINO POWER is also recommended as soluble organic nitrogen fertilizer for fertigation (drip irrigation) and hydroponic watering systems. AMINO POWER is biological agriculture approved.

Lurem-TR., with its great attraction for thrips, is extremely effective even at very low levels of thrips infestation. During periods in which the thrips are present in extremely high numbers they are strongly attracted to the sticky traps equipped with a Lurem-TR. dispenser. This can result in the capture of as much as an 18-fold increase in the number of thrips on a sticky plate as compared to sticky plates without a dispenser.

Spical 25 000

Koppert’s new breeding method enables us to produce and deliver the Amblyseius californicus predatory mite with greatly improved efficiency. This in turn offers an opportunity to introduce this mite, which combats (spider) mites, on a larger scale and with higher numbers per m². For this reason we now also offer a larger pack containing 25,000 predatory mites. On balance, growers can now develop a much more stable system. Moreover, European research has demonstrated that the Koppert species is most effective in controlling spider mite.

Label stick

Van Krimpen has developed a label-stick in in three different lengths (10, 15 and 28 cm long) which can be universally affixed to almost all pots and shrub containers. The holders are fitted with 2 clips. Once the label is clicked in place, it is fixed and cannot slide to the left or the right, resulting in a rigid, uniform presentation. The label can be placed on the front or above the plant. This latter option is very interesting for plants sold on the floor as the customer looks down on the label.

Nieuwe serie boomcontainers

Energy and plastic continue to increase in price. When producing injection moulded flowerpots, they are the two most important price determinants. Van Krimpen has developed a series of shrub containers with ±15% savings in raw materials, which also produces a considerable savings in energy. The technique behind it is simple: for the injection mould process, a particular wall thickness is essential to allow the plastic to flow through the mould. If the wall is not thick enough, the mould will not be properly filled with plastic, producing a defective product. By varying the wall thickness from thin to thick, this problem is avoided, and a perfect product is made with less plastic. By applying an unusual construction in the pot, it retains its rigidity.

Ultra Clima

A better greenhouse climate in a warm and dry outside climate. KUBO has developed a new concept in association with Houweling Nurseries in Oxnard. In California USA we successfully tested the system on 7000 m². Compared to the Dutch climate, in California a dryer climate dominates. Because of this dry climate it is possible to cool down the greenhouse by adding humid air into the greenhouse. With a climate chamber in the end gable walls of the greenhouse untreated open air will be sucked through a cooling PAD into the climate chamber. With fans this air will be blown threw large air-hoses witch are installed under the hanging gutter in the greenhouse. With a adjustable system in the corridor the grower can those between recirculation of the air in the greenhouse or for adding (cooled) wet air into the greenhouse. In this way it is possible to have high productions and relatively low costs, in countries with low humidity and much sun. Given the results in the test greenhouse we are now busy with the realisation of 2 x 8 ha tomatoes production with this technology for Houweling Nurseries Oxnard. Also because of planting in between we expect an production of over 100 kilogram’s p/m² per year.

Peltracom Grow Bag

In Europe, one of the greatest problems associated with greenhouse horticulture is the vast amount of solid waste that is produced every year. Especially the hydroponical cultivation of vegetables in soilless substrates imposes a serious problem of disposal. Its non-biodegradable properties, however, cause environmental concern and prompted the search for alternative organic growing media. Results from different green house experiments show that the organic substrates or organic grow bags are promising and competitive alternatives for rock wool. The possibility to obtain a soilless culture system that is completely biodegradable in the tomato production process, including organic grow bags, clippings and rope, is currently being investigated.

DropStop

The condensation on the inside surfaces of the greenhouse poses an obstacle for the light to penetrate into the greenhouse. The condensation droplets on the surface have undesirable effect on the crops: a barrier for the sun light to enter the greenhouse and an irregular diffusion of the sun light inside the greenhouse, including the “magnifying glass effect”,... The dripping of the water causes bacterial infections and funguses and an uncomfortable work situation in the greenhouse. Through its hydrophilic action,DropStop creates a thin, homogeneous and translucid layer.

Potplanten buffer- en afleversysteem                                   SHORTLISTED

Buffer and shipping system for pot plants During this years Horti Fair Visser will introduce its new patented fully automatic buffer and shipping system for potted plants named VDB, Visser Dynamic Buffer system. The most important advantage compared to other systems is it’s unprecedented flexibility, so not one pot size but for example pot size 9 up to 23 cm in the same buffer. The pot size is just a setting in the computer. It also has a higher capacity and is much more durable with much lower running costs than traditional systems based on conveyors and gutters. Because of it’s integrated irrigation system there is almost no limitation in the time the plants stay in the buffer. The patented VDB system works with an overhead crane with a gripper mechanism to pick up the pots and to move them from the grading line in to the buffer zone and out of the buffer zone to the shipping line with labeling machine, mixing line, sleeving machine etc.

Spiral Buffer™

Wevab’s enhanced Spiral Buffer™ saves space, energy and maintenance costs! The Spiral Buffer™ is filled from on top and uses only gravity to push it along. The ‘kinetic energy’ is taken out of the system, allowing the process to run smoothly and evenly. This reduces wear and tear on sensitive components. The height of the processing space and the spiral construction of the buffer conveyor ensure that up to four times as many products can be buffered above each other. The cost price will be lower than for conventional systems.

JSK

The JSK creates with a low energy use the whished climate. The JSK can cool, heat & dehumidify. Thereby there is a light profit, because the JSK is being used as a cooler from below. The JSK draws in air from above and smoothly blows out the cooled air under the crop. The constant, smoothly blowing of the air, will result in an evenly horizontal and vertical distribution of the climate around the crop. With the use of special ventilators, a maximum climate control will be realised with a minimum energy use. Because of this the JSK is perfect applicable in the closed and semi-closed greenhouse
