Optimizing efficiency and sustainability is crucial in greenhouses. One of the main reasons this grower from Reunion Island decided to use Hydroponic Systems' gutters model was the advantage of making harvesting at human height easier. This ergonomic design not only improves comfort but also increases productivity by allowing workers to easily access plants without bending over or straining too much.
Advantages of Hydroponic Systems gutters
Although this is the grower's first cycle using Hydroponic Systems gutters, the installation process stood out as a significant benefit. The system was easy to install, making it an attractive option for those who are new to greenhouse management or looking for a hassle-free solution. The user-friendly design ensures quick installation and minimal downtime, which is crucial to maintaining continuous production cycles.
The client is growing eggplant, a versatile and popular crop. Planting began in June and the crop is expected to continue thriving until May or June of the following year. "This extended growing season highlights the flexibility of Hydroponic Systems' gutters to support multiple crop cycles, allowing growers to maximize yield throughout the year", the team says.
Productivity and yield
In terms of productivity, the grower anticipates an impressive yield of 1.5kg per m² per week, which according to the suppliers, demonstrates the effectiveness of Hydroponic Systems' gutters in improving plant growth and overall production. Although this is the grower's first season, early results suggest a promising improvement in yield compared to traditional methods.
When asked if he would recommend Hydroponic Systems' gutters to other growers, the answer was a resounding yes. Ease of use, increased productivity, and overall efficiency have left a lasting impression. The system's ability to facilitate harvesting at human height and its reliable performance in the greenhouse make it a solid candidate for any grower looking to improve their operations.
