HortiGreen has a new set of drip irrigation manifold hoses that can be used to irrigate larger plots more efficiently and save costs. The new hoses are available in 6-inch and 8-inch strokes, while only 3-inch and 4-inch hoses were previously available. This is particularly interesting for larger plots, as it is now possible to irrigate more easily, quickly and accurately using fewer technologies. On the left is the size that is already available, and on the right is the larger size, which will be available in mid-December. “Currently we are seeing growers buying for the next growing season,” said founder Arie Jan Broere. "This is especially true for growers who grow seasonal crops and are now making the necessary investments, but also because prices will only rise, and basically everything will be more expensive tomorrow." John Duijvestijn, Arie-Jan Broere and Ties Baltussen In GrootGroenPlus 2021 different crops and different requirements, so-called drip irrigation tapes are increasingly used in outdoor crops. The drip tape is like a dripper in a PE pipe, but it is located underground in the root area. A 16 or 22 mm pipe with a labyrinth delivers water to the roots of the crop in a targeted manner, where it is important that the amount of water is suitable for the soil type in the root zone. In some crops, you can harvest after three months, while in other crops, it may take years to harvest. In this way, the requirements for the sturdiness and durability of the drip tape are different.

“The demand for drip irrigation tapes is currently the highest. The grower usually doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but he does know the planting area and, of course, what kind of crop to grow. With a larger distribution hose, he needs fewer faucet sets. And you can use a pump set to irrigate a larger area in a shorter time."

Innovation is a direct result of market demand. "We are receiving more and more project requests, requesting an area of ​​far more than 10 or 15 hectares. We have organized learning sessions with clients active in all possible growing areas: vegetables, ornamental gardening and nurseries. This diversity is also Necessary, because the size of the output drips must always be suitable for the crop and soil type. You must take this into consideration to achieve the best yield and minimum drainage.

The company develops its own drip irrigation tapes, drip irrigation pipes and joints. HortiGreen has also developed a so-called irrigation pump set, which can be operated intelligently through IoT and the Internet of Things.
