A successful crop rotation starts with a good planning, according to Wim Vreugdenhil, manager at Dutch contractor Marel Loonwerk. This year the company from De Lier invested in several new Turbo fog machines. According to Vreugdenhil, more growers prefer a sanitizing treatment with turbo fogging. "It saves time and money and gives a perfect result. Residual mildew, bacteria and viruses are killed effectively with the treatment. Growers can enter the new growing season clean because next to sound planning, proper hygiene is a precondition”.
