Horticulture Netherlands has initiated an interesting new trial at Botany in Horst, focused on resilient cucumber cultivation. Utilizing our advanced photosynthesis and oxygen sensors, we are generating valuable data insights to better understand the plants' growth potential.
This trial investigates the effects of different substrates and biostimulants on the growth and health of cucumber plants. By adopting this approach, we aim to better understand how to further optimize cultivation and enhance the plants' resilience against diseases and pests. We look forward to sharing the results and contributing to a more sustainable and efficient horticulture sector. The pilot is part of the "Greenhouse as Ecosystem" program and is funded by the Plant Health Practical Program and the foundation Kennis in je Kas (KijK).
