KONTINUIERLICHE GEWÄCHSHAUSANLAGEN

In my continuous culture method the complete culture takes place as a continuous productionline.
In contrast with the traditional, two-dimensioned cropping surface a three-dimensioned one is used.

An exact determination of the optimal growing-conditions gives the base for the automatical controlling system (punchcard system) for the holding.
Therefore I developed a special measuring equipment (e.g.
Phytocyclon).

As an intermediate between the normal glasshouse and the continuous production line a tower glasshouse can be used as well for the propagating of crops (50 m²) as for the growing of crops up to several thousands of m². Except advantages regarding heating, illumination, ventilation and the use of hydroponics etc., the tower glasshouse enables the saving of labour.
