Pepper grower Rob Moors tested Royal Brinkman's new Valent Pepper twine in 2020 and now uses it on his entire 19 ha. "It is strong and does not stretch, so the rows are tight from start to finish. That works well and prevents damage and loss of quality."

In horticulture, fertilization is a crucial part of the growth of the crop. Every crop has different needs and therefore a different fertilization strategy. That is why Royal Brinkman offers a wide range of fertilizers for professional greenhouse horticulture. Whether it concerns solid fertilizers, single or NPK, or liquid fertilizers in various types. Our specialists will be happy to advise you on the right fertilizer recipe. Each fertilizer recipe contains the main elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and Sulphur. In addition to the main elements, trace elements are often added to the pepper fertilizer recipe.

Automation of your greenhouse activities can reduce the cost price of your produce, because it improves both the efficiency of the business process and the quality of the product. The initial investment costs of automation are often higher, but in the long term you can save greatly on labor costs. You don't have to deal with unnecessary work, working conditions, environmental factors, etc. This way your employees can focus on activities that need a human touch. Here below you’ll find an impression of the available automation and machinery for growing peppers.

Roof cleaners - maximize light and yield
The Top Cleaner and AquaJet, are essential tools for maximizing light and yield. The Top Cleaner efficiently removes dirt from glass and gutters, allowing maximum light transmission during darker periods of the year. It can also be used to apply a layer of chalk or coating. On the other hand, the AquaJet is designed for cleaning the inside of your greenhouse during crop rotation. It applies cleaning or disinfection agents and rinses them with a high-pressure water beam, ensuring optimal cleanliness. Additionally, the AquaJet's telescopic boom can clean cultivation gutters, resulting in significant labor cost savings.

The Service Engine for maintenance
Richard Schenkeveld, tomato grower in The Netherlands: "With the increase in the number of machines and an increase in personnel, we were looking for more insight and overview. We were told about the Service Engine and and then we were won over".
