New training resources for growers using retractable roof houses

At Cravo, they believe that the profitability of producing crops and the return on investment on invested capital can be increased by combining the advantages of both nature and a protective environment, and that this combination will also make it easier for growers to meet current and future market demands.

To help growers learn how to take full advantage of both nature and protection using the retractable roof houses, they have created a series of educational videos and a new web site.

By investing as little as one hour, growers can now quickly learn how the retractable roof houses can:

quickly increase or decrease plant and soil temperatures without supplemental heating or cooling
optimize water uptake to prevent nutritional deficiencies and improve the plant's natural defense mechanisms
make it easier to achieve the optimal plant balance to increase yield, quality and shelf life
extend or shift the harvest forwards or backwards to hit the premium price windows

The new web site is now acting as a library for what Cravo have learned over the last 30 years from their customers producing vegetables, berries, cherries, flowers, ornamental and trees for reforestation.
