National Strawberry Day honors strawberries and their flavors, making them a perfect choice for a healthy snack. Even though strawberries are traditionally associated with summer, their day is celebrated today, in winter. With strawberries and soft fruits needing demanding environments to grow, including ample warmth and sunlight, greater control over growing conditions is essential for UK growers looking to cultivate strawberries all year round.
"At Tomtech, we're celebrating National Strawberry Day! Despite the UK's cold, wet and dark winters, climate-sensitive fruit like strawberries can still be grown to their full potential. By leveraging greenhouses reinforced with environmental control systems to ensure optimal environmental conditions, our store shelves can be kept fully stocked with homegrown strawberries and other soft fruits" says Krzysztof Hernik, Managing Director at Tomtech.
Tomtech is highlighting the benefits of greenhouse control systems, such as the Tomtech T100, in giving greenhouse growers the tools needed to create, monitor and maintain the perfect environment within their greenhouse.
With better insights and control on greenhouse conditions, commercial growers have eliminated environmental guesswork and have made optimal adjustments to encourage a better environment for thriving crops.
"Strawberries thrive when they have the right balance of temperature, humidity, and light in a greenhouse. Our technology helps growers replicate the best possible conditions for these summer fruits, ensuring high yields and premium-quality strawberries - regardless of the season" adds Krzysztof.
"When utilizing a greenhouse structure managed by a Tomtech system, even the most temperature-sensitive crops can be grown on UK grounds. We aim to continue supporting greenhouse growers across the nation with better environmental control, ensuring we maintain a steady supply of fruit and vegetables all-year round" concludes Krzysztof.
