The cultivation of soft fruits comes with many challenges, such as drought, frost, hail, fungal diseases, pests and weeds. At Royal Brinkman, you will find solutions and products to solve these problems, both outdoors and indoors. We offer: biological and chemical crop protection products, as well as solid and liquid fertilizers, bumblebees for pollination of outdoor crops and under cover, hygiene and disinfection products, scissors and trays. In addition, the UniMite bio-distribution system offers you the possibility to easily distribute your biological agents in your soft fruit cultivation. 

Strawberries can be grown in a variety of ways: from traditional outdoor cultivation, via cultivation in plastic tunnels to greenhouse cultivation. Also among professional strawberry growers, cultivation in special cultivation trays and containers is becoming increasingly popular. By growing strawberries under cover, fruit production is less dependent on climatic factors and the crop itself can be better protected against diseases and pests. All this translates into higher fruit quality and higher yields, and thus an increase in the profitability of the crop.

Blueberries are perennial flowering plants of the genus ‘Vaccinium’ that are usually grown for their dark berries. Blueberries can be grown on a wide range of climatic conditions. However, the best thrive in warmer (full sun) climates. Blueberry crop prefers soils which are highly acidic, fertile, aerated, moist and well-drained. The optimal soil pH range is 4.0 to 5.5 for best growth and yield.

DryGair
The energy-saving DryGair dehumidifier is a device that allows you to control humidity in the crop. This is especially important because of the high risk of fungal diseases that can significantly weaken plants and destroy the crop. DryGair is ideally suited for tunnel cultivation, when it is not possible to reduce humidity with fans. 


Advantages of the DryGair in soft fruits
- Removes moisture from the air 
- Energy saving
- Ensures a stable climate

UniMite
After a period of extensive research and development, we succeeded, in collaboration with Pullens Mechanical Engineering, in developing a new bio-spreader specially for soft fruit cultivation. This has already been tested at a number of companies and has led to very positive results.



Advantages of the UniMite in soft fruits
 - Labor saving
 - High working speed
 - Simple filling system

Bio Chopper
Bio Chopper is an advanced device for eliminating soft fruit crop in greenhouse or tunnel conditions. The device can be used for liquidating crops or for seasonal removal of leaves and shoots left over from plant pruning. The Bio Chopper is equipped with transport mats that efficiently transfer the leaves and shoots from the plants into a container or onto a trailer. 

Advantages of the Bio Chopper in soft fruits
-  Ensures labour savings
 - Old crop is easily removed from the greenhouse
 - The Bio Chopper can be folded out, minimising the space needed for storage or transport
