Commercial Venlo Glass Greenhouse Growing Strawberries

Introdution

• Optimal Light Transmittance: Glass provides exceptional clarity with light transmittance up to 95%, maximizing sunlight penetration—critical for high-light-demand crops like tomatoes, peppers, and roses, which thrive on intense, direct light.

• Long-Term Clarity & Maintenance: Glass has a smooth, non-porous surface that resists dirt, algae, and chemical buildup. This ensures consistent light transmission over time, requiring less frequent cleaning compared to PC boards.

• Structural Stability: Glass is rigid and robust, offering strong resistance to environmental stressors. It pairs well with large-scale Venlo designs, supporting extensive commercial operations where durability and longevity are priorities.

• Chemical Resistance: Glass is inert and unaffected by pesticides, fertilizers, or high humidity, making it ideal for environments with frequent chemical applications or high-moisture crops.

Strawberry substrate culture:

• Improved Fruit Quality: Substrates (e.g., coconut coir, peat) provide optimal drainage and aeration, reducing fruit rot. This leads to plumper, sweeter strawberries with fewer blemishes.

• Pest and Disease Control: Being soil-free minimizes exposure to soil-borne pests and fungi, lowering pesticide use and keeping berries cleaner.

• Efficient Resource Use: Precisely controlled water and nutrient delivery cuts water waste by up to 50% compared to soil, while nutrients are absorbed more effectively, boosting growth.

  
  

• Easy Management: Substrates simplify monitoring of root health and reduce weeding. They also allow for elevated planting, making harvesting easier and protecting fruit from ground contact.

• Consistent Yields: Uniform substrate conditions ensure even growth, resulting in steady, reliable harvests across seasons.
