Crop protection and care are essential in strawberry farming. However, this process is very labor-intensive, which is why strawberry growers WestBerry De Lier and T’ Aardbeihofke in Ravels (the Netherlands) have chosen to automate their crop treatment using tailor-made solutions from Steenks Service.
Steenks Service recently delivered a Meto spray trolley and Meto transport trolley to T’Aardbeihofke in Ravels. This combination of machines enables the strawberry grower to fully automate their process of crop treatment. For example, the Meto spray trolley can spray no less than seven paths simultaneously, after which the transport trolley can automatically move the spray trolley to the next path. T’ Aardbeihofke has opted for a Meto spray trolley equipped with a spray arm made of galvanized steel with seven spray masts.
In the video below, you can see for yourself how the Meto spray trolley and Meto transport trolley are used at T’ Aardbeihofke in Ravels:
WestBerry De Lier is also very pleased with the Meto spray trolley. The company, which previously only grew tomatoes, has started growing strawberries this year. To make their production process a lot easier and less labor-intensive, they opted for a custom-made spray trolley that can spray no less than three paths at the same time.
Watch the video below to see how Westberry De Lier uses the custom-made Meto spray trolley from Steenks Service:
Steenks Service will be present at GreenTech Amsterdam at booth 01.501
