It seems like a tiptop dewy-eyed solution , and actually , it is . " Yet the improvements it brings in terms of proletariat are substantial , " order David Dobos with Blackmore . At the GreenTech show this year , David Dobos with Blackmore showed Air Tray Racks , which they developed together with Dutch company Van Schaik Racking Solutions . These racks enable growers to lower the need for labor in the glasshouse , subjugate / eliminate ground - bear disease publication and double up the root flock weight .
This is an extra welfare over the diminution of credit card use and well creating favourable generation and grow circumstances brought by growing in Air Trays . " You should n’t automate problems just to automate them , " David say .
Air Tray SystemThe Air Tray scheme has been used by agriculturalist around the world for many year by now . The line of products of root air pruning tray was developed to lower the role of plastics in container output while maximise airflow around the rootage zone and thus optimise root air pruning . When combined with a root like Ellepots , it enables growers to work with their substrate of pick and no single - use plastic trays . agriculturist can find Air Trays customized specifically for , but not limited to , forestry , fruit and nut Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , nursery , bush , hemp , and cannabis software program . Over the eld , the patent Air Tray Technologies family has come to let in additional yield technology such as mechanization root , air tray racks , air trays , and retail opportunity .
The wire racks that were shown at the GreenTech , and also useable at Cultivate this calendar week , are an model of how the company keeps their root simple , low - cost , yet effective .
intragroup ecstasy & automationAir Trays are designed to fit on wire rack , which is good for home conveyance . The especially designed Air Tray Racks are plan to match the Air Trays perfectly , enabling automation of the front of plant around the baby’s room . " It enables growers to well concentrate transplanting and scoring , for example , " do n’t wreak the the great unwashed to the plant but the works to the people , David explains .
The telegram stand ensures right & even distance between plant , and it catches the water , so the leaching outcome is highly reduced to almost zero . Then there ’s the increase air drift while enable agriculturalist to pick multiple plant up at once : up to 7 or 9 tray at a time . " Plus , since the drift are consolidate , pathogen spreading is minimise as well , " he adds . And while ' mechanization system ' might sound expensive and complicated , this is completely opposite of the air tray technologies system Blackmore created .
Optimizing labor , reducing plastic"I do n’t believe automating your problem is always the answer ! You should take away the problem instead . We ensure to focalize on serve the grower deal with their current challenge . With Air Tray Technologies , we recover value by optimise labor and reducing charge card in a cost - optimized manner " , David says .
Next week at the Cultivate , he ’ll be available to explain more on this and estimate it through with agriculturist . In improver , also other Air Tray Technologies will be seeable at the show : the retail sleeve ( LINK ) and the Ellepots ( LINK ) . The Blackmore team will partake in more insights on their solutions in their stall . Also , two presentations are scheduled in Room B240 , on July 17 & 18 at 10 AM & 2 PM .
