Hydroponic
Our expansion project aims to increase the greenhouse area to 10 hectares in the next few years.
Using the hydroponic production system, we achieve production of premium habanero peppers with the highest quality.
After 3 years of experience, we reached an annual production of 100 tons of Habanero Pepper.
There are many advantage of hydroponic cultivation over traditional cultivation, here is a comparison between the two processes.
Soils become poor and lose many nutrients with repeated harvests.
They lose their structure with continuous crops and the scarcity of organic matter.
High cost of labor in the plant cycle: harvesting, weeding, etc.
Crops must be grown on productive soils, because poor soils result in losses.
Irrigation is fundamental in this kind of crop, because water stress must be avoided.
The space remains controlled in its characteristics and is reorganized again.
High crop density and increased overall yields due to excellent quality.
Pests and diseases can be controlled preventively.
Low manpower demand, which represents a low cost in disinfection.
With hydroponic crops we can avoid water stress altogether.
Our substrate is of the highest international quality standards, it's inert coconut fiber imported from Sri Lanka, encapsulated in a plastic ball that functions as a pot.
The substrate have been placed inside the greenhouses and irrigated with pure water for several irrigation pulses to generate an adequate swelling of the fiber and subsequent washing of salts from it.
All starts with the transport of the coconut fiber, day by day water is supplied with salts, which are dosed from the fertigation room system. Water with salts, which are dosed from the fertigation room, the water that is supplied to our crop contains salts for the needs of the plant.
Inside the greenhouse we have a system of and spacer, whose main function is to retain all the drained water volume to support the weight of the bolis together with the plant.
Using the hydroponic production system, we achieve production of premium habanero peppers with the highest quality.
