Environmentally friendly cultivation
Careful management of irrigation and fertilization is key to growing delicious tomatoes. In this horticulture operation, all drainage water is collected and, after passing through a biological purification filter, is reused. The central watertank contains a 100 cm layer of pumice stone, which acts as an effective biofilter. Water circulates continuously, 24/7, ensuring efficient water use while preventing valuable plant nutrients from being lost to the environment.
