Growing under cover using precision agriculture technology

 

In the wake of recent global warming, we have witnessed increasingly frequent climatic extremes at varying locations worldwide, including in areas where farmers were used to stable weather conditions. In recent years they have experienced extremes of heat, hail and wind.

This change, particularly over the past five years, has brought many growers to limit their level of agricultural investment risk, by switching to under-cover cultivation. This trend has also led to development of many precision agriculture technologies, to offer growers climate prediction tools, enabling adjustment of water and fertilizer quantities to the plants’ requirements, and thereby lowering costs.

 

Research shows that growing under cover totally reduces expected extreme climatic damage.
Ginegar Plastic Products,   which supplies smart covers for intensive agriculture and horticulture applications, will participate at Greentech, exhibiting a variety of solutions for various types of crops, for creating optimal conditions to maximize quality yields and profitability.

 

Ginegar Plastic Products,  worldwide pioneer producer of FIVE layer greenhouse films, has now become one of the first to produce NINE layer films! Ginegar has plants in Israel, India, Brazil and Italy. Two subsidiaries in California and Spain (recently opened) with local warehouses maintain significant stock for the relevant markets.

Aiming to revolutionize greenhouse vegetable production with its multipurpose robotic system GRoW,  Metomotion will also exhibit at Greentech. MetoMotion’s robotic system performs labor-intensive tasks to reduce reliance on and high costs of human labor in greenhouse farming. MetoMotion’s first product is the robotic tomato harvester, but the systems can be easily adapted to additional crops (e.g., cucumbers, peppers) and a range of greenhouse tasks, including harvesting, pruning, monitoring, de-leafing, and pollinating.

 

The GRoW system collects large amounts of data during harvesting. The analyzed data provide growers with new levels of information for improving production.
