SOFT FRUIT

Future-Proof your SOFT FRUIT production

Increase the yield – Save labour – Reduce costs

Meeting the market’s increased demands

In order to ensure both the quality and quantity of the harvested product and thereby being able to fulfill sales agreements, the grower must have increased focus on both correct irrigation and fertilizer.

The traditional way of producing Soft Fruit has been by manually operating watering and fertilizer, and it has been a time-consuming task to ensure timely irrigation. For some this might have caused a poorer yield with plants of varying quality. The SIIP system is a state-of-the-art system and helps you saving time, ensures proper irrigation and fertilizer, and thereby greater and better yield – and at the same time achieves a cost saving – now and in the future.

Is your production system up-to-date and future-proofed? In case your answer is no, please read our further information – and if yes, we are sure that we will still be able to help you improving your production and output.
