Germany: Scherzer Gemüse moves to giant, 10mn Euro greenhouse complex
Scherzer Gemüse grows tomatoes and plum tomatoes, mainly for discounters. Produce is cultivated on a substrate made of coconut fibre. Fertilizer and watering is done almost automatically, and bumblebees provide pollination. Against pests such as whitefly, beneficial insects are used. For the heating of the greenhouse use is made of the waste heat from the adjacent heating plant.
