Labour saving , better working conditions , more frequent applications , more efficient use of staffing, fast return on investment in capital , very responsive & fast response from Igeba staff on trouble shooting and problem solving.<\/p>\n
90% of pesticide applications are now undertaken by the Unipro with the last 10% being spot treatments so\u00a0 we are saving a lot of Euros on labour.<\/p>\n
For too long we as a company were trying to coordinate pesticide applications around dispatch teams whish was always difficult but became close to impossible towards the end , this is eliminated with the Unipro.<\/p>\n
Programmes now run at night with no risk to staff also when applications go on at night the vents are closed so reduced risk to bees and native pollinators.<\/p>\n
We can now achieve even distribution and correct volume applications that was difficult to achieve when applying using a boom sprayer sop calibration is 100% each and everytime.<\/p>\n
We grow in polytunnels with no heat and during the winter months struggled to continue fortnightly applications due to factors such as temperature , high humidity , lack of drying and also short days just made the hard work very hard work\u00a0 , using the unipro means applications use 90% less water and whole structures can be trated in a very fast and efficient manner. We have noticed an improvement in th equality of the plants all round and are still learning the whole time.<\/p>\n
I thought our pesticide bill would increase as we now treat the whole structure at a time but after going back over the last 3 years our pesticide bills are actually lower than what they were in the past.<\/p>\n
The unipros have very quickly become an invaluable part of our business growing model , the investment that was made was justified and the more we use them the faster our return as the labour is now gone on having 2 men spraying the tunnels on weekends & bank holidays or starting work at 05.00am during the summer months.<\/p>\n
Foggers running every 10 days , no heating & all cold house production , as all growers know its the over wintered long crops that are the most fraught with difficulty , having being potted in July the product cycle is long with many obstacles to be navigated across multiple growing seasons spanning late summer\u00a0 – Autumn – through to winter and spring the following calendar year.<\/p>\n
2022\/2023: we are through our second winter now and the crops are of exceptional quality again , it has been a longer , colder and wetter winter than the last one and the crops are still at the upper limits of what would be expected\u00a0 for this type of cold house production.<\/p>\n
