Advantages
One strawberry plant, for example grown in soil requires around 200 litres of water per season. However, a strawberry plant grown in the NGS system only requires around 13 litres of water per season. This is because the same water is circulated and no water is lost due to evaporation or sinking to ground below.
The NGS System enables:
- Easier crop change, root inspection, installation and maintenance.
- An earlier and more productive crop.
- Low production costs and a cleaner environment.
- The Compliance with the future ‘Green’ standards.
- Favorable work conditions.
- The reduction of pollution caused by nutrients and pesticides.
- The reduction of the volume of plant roots, due to good aeration.
- The reduction of the amount of energy used to warm roots.
With all these advantages, an exceptional high quality produce can be obtained, where all parameters are perfectly controlled by the growing system.
