In late years , however , the Guy from Van Eck Bedrijfshygiëne have also increasingly been visiting the greenhouse during the cultivation period . Indeed , two years ago , the Son en Breugel - based company put in the ego - developed Telefog for do craw protection treatment during cultivation . " We further developed our ego - developed proficiency of inhuman obscure internally for apply the crop security product , create a very fine mist . This achieves complete coverage throughout the nursery . We have develop a car for this , which is applicable in any type of nursery farm . With it , we treat up to 3.5 hectare per hour , " say Lex Kneppers .
The Telefog has an adjustable physical body that fits any type of pipe rail and act easily along its entire length . While fogging above the plants , the desired harvest protection Cartesian product is introduce into the place . Because of the fineness of the droplet , it creates a fog of crop protective covering agent that reaches all parts of the plant and its yield .

With the Telefog , Van Eck is singular on the mart , and the new instauration meets a need of many horticulturists , enjoin Lex . " We can fog all possible crop protection products from granule to liquids . We have good example where we have applied a discussion early in the crop and thus benefit from the effect until the close of the crop .

When applying the Telefog , we see an even dispersion of the agents , lot throughout the greenhouse . This is also reflected in the resultant role . By make this app at the proper time , we can keep our biology up to par . It gives good results and saves us a lot of labor . "

With this unexampled method , we are able to work completely exhaust - free in the glasshouse . specially early in the time of year when the plant still have their flush , this is extremely desirable . Moreover , thanks to our shell , we can propose the horticulturists flexibility , " says Martijn van der Velden .
" Especially since the eruption of the ToBRFV computer virus , awareness of total cultivation fix hygiene within the greenhouse horticulture companionship has increased even more . Where antecedently hygiene in the greenhouse was principally looked at , cultivator nowadays make much more of a total plan of action , including , for example , the packing mansion , change room , and the office . This also includes a thoroughgoing glide path to pest direction , and here too , we can save cultivator of all their worry , " Martijn concludes .
