Tholen - Getting acquainted with cultivation innovations in an approachable way is exactly what Sendot aims to do with the so-called Plant Insights meetings, the second edition of which it organised yesterday at Ter Laak. A number of speakers from the supply chain with specialisations in the field of cultivation (in particular lighting and watering) were invited to share their insights with the 30 or so attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, everyone, from the organisers to the speakers and also the visitors - fifty-fifty consisting of growers and suppliers, with a (perhaps not entirely coincidental) over-representation from phalaenopsis - has a commercial interest, but that is emphatically placed in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is welcome, not just Sendot customers, preferred suppliers or a selected group of invited guests. If there are three bulb farmers with interesting insights, then all three are welcome to come; and if it is about the cultivation secrets of phalaenopsis, then basically all growers are welcome to come and shed their light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first edition a few months ago at the World Horti Center, they were now welcome at Ter Laak in Wateringen, where there is of course plenty to see in terms of innovation and technology. On behalf of the company, Andre van \u2019t Hoofd welcomed his guests and talked about the ways in which this grower is thinking about tomorrow's production. \u2018In 2030, Ter Laak will be circular and grow chemical-free, emission-free and fossil-free,\u2019 he summarised. In every possible way, it tries to gather knowledge and seeks to exchange it with others to achieve these goals. Specifically, he sees the company switching to geothermal heat (or other, non-fossil sources of energy) in the future and the use of plastic will be greatly reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short series of presentations followed, briefly discussing a diversity of new insights. Jose Carrettero of French company Horticulture.Red, for instance, talked about the \u2018black box\u2019 of light and its effect on plant growth, John van Ruyven of JVR Techniek illustrated the great importance of oxygen-rich water, Bonte de Jong of Phytoconsult showed how sensors can be used to get a better and faster grasp of optimal light intensity and Arie Draaijer of Sendot concluded with the insights gained from photosynthesis efficiency measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
