Over the last 5 years, Stannuco nursery has seen a strong improvement in the vitality of its crops. The general hygiene of the company is very good and, in addition, extensive water analyses showed that the water quality was of the highest level. With these achievements, they win the Huwa-San Water Quality Cup 2020 in the vegetable cultivation category.
Like every year, the Huwa-San Water Quality Cups 2020 were awarded by Roam Technology at the beginning of the year. The producer of the worldwide known disinfectant Huwa-San awards these prizes to its customers who score the best in terms of water quality. In determining the winners, a few other parameters were taken into account as well, like the percentage of crop loss, cultivation results, and general quality of the end products. In previous years, the winners were chosen in the Netherlands, but this year for the first time, customers from all over Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were eligible. This year, two prizes were awarded: one for best water quality in vegetable cultivation and one for best water quality in floriculture.

Due to the outbreak of the corona crisis in early 2020, the announcements of the winners of the Huwa-San Water Quality Cup 2019 have faded somewhat into the background. But delay does not have to mean cancellation.
In the vegetable cultivation category, the Huwa-San Water Quality Cup 2019 went to cucumber grower Alaerds Allegro, located in Hegelsom (the Netherlands). Manager Gerben Alaerds has two greenhouses at this location that together form a cultivation area of 8 ha. The company has been using Huwa-San for 3 years now and has seen the pathogen pressure drop sharply during this period. During these 3 years, the water quality over the entire water system was periodically checked by Roam Technology. Alaerds Allegro won thanks to very good general hygiene and top results in the field of water quality.
