Here is February 2016 in retrpspect; a month full of trade shows. There was the 34th edition of the IPM Essen that again broke new visitor records and we had a packed edition of the Fruit Logistica in Berlin, which was showcasing more greenhouse technology than ever. As if that didn't bring us enough to write about, Syngenta announced it's takeover deal by ChemChina in the same week. Another much discussed article of February 2016 was Mucci Farms' move into automated aquaponic lettuce production.

Mucci Farms invests in large scale, fully automated, hydroponic lettuce production
For many years, the technicians at Viscon have been working on automated and semi-automated floating deep water production systems. After developing, trialing and gaining commercial experience with several aquaponic systems, Viscon recently completely renewed the design of the floats and production system. Canadian greenhouse grower Mucci Farms is now the first in North America to use this new hydroponic system for the production of organic lettuce.
