Test greenhouseWe opened it in 2007. It covers an area of 2390 square meters. There is greenhouse ; acreage is 1630 square meters with 6 independent rooms, Venlo type; so-called “Dutch right style” in Japan, also, cool-ware, warehouse, experimental room too. New bed system in our test greenhouseWe put “Super drain bed 85” developed by Japan Agricultural Assn (Zennou) as the planting bed in our test greenhouse. So, when we give steam disinfection not to all of the field but only to beds, it saves time and cost a lot. We manage the test growing by computer; irrigation, fertilizer, temperature, ,shading, open and close the windows, heating, cooling by mist, ventilation-fans, etc. |
