Pokemon tears into greenhouse industry

The PokemonGo smartphone game hype is now taking its toll on the greenhouse industry too. If we are to believe some pictures on Twitter, there are already several growers who are no longer looking at their climate computers or crops, but who are, just like almost everyone else around us, constantly looking at their smartphones trying to catch a Rattata or a Pikachu hiding in their greenhouses.....

NY based rooftop grower Gotham Greens has integrated Pokemons into their pest management strategy...

And Dutch tomato grower Richard Hartensveld is using special tomato pokeballs to catch Pikachu.

Pidgey apparently loves the hydroponic basil from Farmer Tyler..

Some Pokemon pest pressure at KeyGene, but they have already intermediate Pokemon resistance in their varieties.

Canadian strawberry grower Heeman's isusing Pokemons as their latest marketing strategy.

And in the storage of Hydroponics Inc a so called Mew was looking for growing supplies

It was also very busy at the administration of Westland Mayor Sjaak van der Tak last week....get back to work Sjaak!

And this Pokemon went to buy some Happy Toms tomatoes at Dutch grower R.van Koppen.

And last but not least; a florist in Colts Neck, New Jersey ran over a Pokemon while delivering his fresh flowers...
