Turkey: Hasil Tarim evaluating tomato & cucumber in new Cravo retractable roof greenhouses
The new greenhouse features a computer controlled double layer retractable roof with roll up walls.
• The upper retractable greenhouse roof is a transparent poly fabric to help increase temperatures in the winter while providing protection to crops from rain and hail
• The lower retractable roof layer is a white poly fabric which acts as an energy curtain in the winter and provides cooling like a cloud in the summer.
This two layer design allows for economical production year round since minimal fuel is required in the winter for heating and virtually no electricity is required in the summer for cooling.
The two retractable roofs help provide optimal light levels 12 months a year.
The company’s first planting in August of this year includes 50 varieties of tomatoes and 25 varieties of cucumbers.
Bus tours to visit Hasel Tarim’s new greenhouse, warehouse and office will be organized during the Growtech Eurasia Trade Show in Antalya from Dec 5-8, 2012.
