Overview Sustainable water use has become one of the biggest challenges in modern strawberry cultivation — and the tabletop systems used across Northern Europe are one of the toughest places to fix it. In 2023, Proefcentrum Hoogstraten (PCH) ran a full-season trial with Sigrow Soil Mini substrate sensors to find out whether sensor-driven irrigation could reduce drain water on a Mini-Air ...

A food processing facility required a wastewater treatment solution to meet local discharge requirements while minimizing both capital and operating costs. The existing system relied on mechanical screening alone, which was unable to cope with high-strength wastewater and influent BOD levels reaching up to 9,000 mg/L. To address this, an advanced aerobic bioreactor (AAB) was selected as the core ...

Rotary Drum Screen Guide for Wastewater and Industrial Filtration In many filtration systems, performance problems are often traced back to the screening stage rather than downstream equipment. When solids are not removed efficiently at the beginning of the process, it can lead to clogging, reduced efficiency, and increased maintenance costs. One solution widely used across industries is the ...

We design, build, install and support complete post-harvest lines that bring together the industry’s most advanced, high-capacity machinery, engineered for performance, precision, and longevity. Our full-line solutions for crops such as potatoes, carrots, onions, parsnips, and ...
Agritechnica 2025 trade fair: Lutz-Jesco presents water technology for sustainable and efficient greenhouses of the future Nutrient deficiencies, over-fertilisation and crop losses: many greenhouses struggle due to inaccurate nutrient supply and fluctuating water quality. Lutz-Jesco will be demonstrating what you can do about this at Agritechnica in Hanover from 9 to 15 November (Hall 3, Stand ...
Flooding has long been one of the most pressing environmental challenges in India. With climate change intensifying rainfall patterns, urban expansion reducing natural drainage, and river systems under constant stress, the frequency and severity of floods are increasing at an alarming pace. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, nearly 12% of India’s land area is prone to flooding, ...
Why Sustainability Matters Now By 2050, food production will need to double to feed nearly 10 billion people. Yet resources are shrinking: Europe alone loses €28 billion in crops annually from extreme weather, over half from drought. Agriculture already consumes 70% of global freshwater, while the EU wastes nearly 59 million tonnes of food a year. For vegetable growers and processors, ...
The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is one of the world’s most versatile and valuable plant species. Capable of producing food, fuel, cosmetics, building materials, growing media and cosmetic compounds, it’s no wonder that in the Philippines, the coconut is known as the Tree of Life. The global market for coconut products is predicted to reach $53.4 billion by 2033, thanks to annual ...
Abstract China is one of the world's largest producers and consumers of edible vegetable oils, with demand growing steadily in recent years. However, due to environmental pollution, production processes, storage, and transportation, trace heavy metals are often found in edible oils. These metals not only accelerate lipid oxidation and spoilage—affecting oil quality—but may also enter ...
Home farming pot : The veggyBARREL Home farming has become popular since the Covid-19 epidemic has hit the planet and lots of people want to eat healthy and organic food. The inability to grow all vegetables is a big challenge faced by hydroponic greenhouses. Home farming veggyBARREL® on the rooftops can produce not just ...

Cucumber young plants are sensitive to root damage. By using Growcoon we increase the transplant success rate because the roots stay protected. People around me wondered why I use Growcoon. For me it was an innovation and a good investment. As time went by it showed its true value. When seedlings are sensitive, and cultivation days in the nursery are short Growcoon increases the transplant ...
We We are partnering with Southern Piedmont organic and conventional diverse vegetable farmers through an enhanced incentives program. Farmers will be asked to add cover crops to their vegetable rotation. We will monitor greenhouse gas emissions, soil health benefits, economic impacts, and social barriers to the adoption of using cover crops versus not using cover crops on their fields. This ...
In order to improve the efficiency of cold chain management and ensure the quality and safety of items, the cold chain supply chain requires a professional Disposable temperature data logger to monitor and record the temperature of the entire supply chain. Freshliacne has launched a variety of disposable temperature data logger models for cold chains, which are easy to operate, take up little ...
Fresh Tracker is a real-time wireless temperature humidity data logger with location, based on IOT platform. It is suitable for the cold-chain logistics and storage of fruits and vegetables, drinks, fresh produce, dairy products, vaccines, etc. Fresh Tracker temperature humidity data logger can not only record real-time and historical temperature and humidity data throughout the logistics process ...
Single use temperature data logger suitable for food temperature monitoring. Because many foods are more sensitive to temperature, higher temperatures will affect their quality, taste, and safety, such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, dairy products, meat, coffee, etc. Usually sensitive foods need to be controlled at appropriate temperatures during transportation or storage, and temperature ...
All but the most basic heat exchangers are created to a bespoke brief, designed to take into account the material/s being heated or cooled, the heating or cooling medium, the amount of product being processed, product velocity, risk of fouling and a host of other factors. However, over the years some standard design types have emerged (as well as more specific types) and understanding the ...
