Orchids and mini cucumbers in Ultra-Clima greenhouse

In addition to the success with tomatoes in the Ultra-Clima® greenhouse, good results are also being achieved now with mini cucumbers. In the Lipetsk project in Russia, mini cucumbers are being cultivated on an area of 2.6 hectares under assimilation lighting. Our cultivation consultant Eef Maassen, who has been involved in the project from the start, says this is a world first.



And it is not just mini cucumbers: Ocean Orchids has been successfully cultivating orchids in an Ultra-Clima® greenhouse. One of KUBO’s large Ultra-Clima® customers in California has had 4 hectares planted with cucumbers on high wire systems for more than 1.5 years with good results. Last autumn 4 hectares of peppers were also started in an Ultra-Clima® greenhouse. The Ultra-Clima® success started with tomatoes, and now, after 5.5 years of cultivation experience, it can be concluded that this has been extremely successful. Other crops are also achieving good results now.

Throughout the world there are now almost 173.5 hectares contained in Ultra-Clima® greenhouses. This concept has provided the solution to many problems in relation to food safety and year-round cultivation with minimal use of resources (water, power, fertilisers, CO2) and with higher yield per square metre. This makes the return on investment higher than for traditional greenhouses.
