allot to Vertify , this year , they made a lot of progression with chrysanthemums in the undertaking ' futurity - proof cut flower polish on water ' . Project leader Jasper Schermer sees this confirmed in the reactions of BCO member . " Last class we saw yellowing , " he says . " After some fitting to the clime , we are seeing excellent growth without yellow this twelvemonth . Growers are really enthusiastic , so I bear a lot of interest in this trial . "
The projection ' future tense - proof cutting off flower polish on water ' explores the possibilities for making ( currently ) soil - based undercut prime cultivation more sustainable . polish in closed - water system systems wipe out the emission of fertilizer and crop security products to the stain and groundwater . In addition , it makes stain disinfection via energy - intensive steaming completely unneeded . Chrysanthemum , Matricaria , and Lisianthus have been take as example crop . Good cultivation results are a necessary precondition for acceptation and scaling up in praxis , as state by the Vertify team .
No yellowing , good growthThe exploration is taking place at Vertify in Zwaagdijk and partly through hard-nosed tests at growers . This twelvemonth , the focal point at Vertify was on chrysanthemum . Last class , this craw was still struggling with yellowing and moderate emergence . At Vertify they determine that research into the correct climate condition has yield many issue . " We part monitoring the crop with the help of sensors , " say task loss leader Jasper Schermer . " The inquiry into the mood condition , in combining with the enjoyment of detector , has allowed us to fine - tune the climate . Yellowing is now a thing of the past times and increment is last well . The BCO fellow member are quite impressed . "
Good offset social system , f number , and blossom qualityThe research worker expects a lot of interest in the trial . " rise in the ground is at odds with the emission demand that agriculturist will have to fulfil in a few years , " he explains . " Moreover , steaming cost a portion of energy and money , while refinement is also not potential then . Growing on the water is an attractive prospect in that respect , provided that the production and branch quality are secure . In that esteem , we have made meaning progress this year by improving the glasshouse clime . Growers are really enthusiastic about the branch structure , the full crop , and the cultivation speed . The prime quality and offset weight are also not inferior to those of soil cultivation . It would be great if we could take the footstep towards practical software program with this important crop next twelvemonth , as we did last year with Matricaria . "
