A sea view and horticulture with Green-Y-Land

The van Geest family has been active in horticulture for many years in Tinte, a friendly village near Brielle. It is an excellent location for growing greenhouse vegetables. Because Tinte is located close to the sea, the light is very suitable for crops in the greenhouse. In the past, the crops were also grown outdoors, but nowadays only in greenhouses. In our nursery we grow cucumbers on approximately five hectares.

BIOLOGICAL CROP PROTECTION PRODUCTS

In the greenhouse, biological crop protection products are used like predatory mites in a sachet. These sachets are hung at different places in the greenhouse and protect the crops from pests and diseases for approximately six weeks. The predatory mites that roam around the greenhouse also feed on a kind of pollen.
