Hendrik Mast, Hortimec. A spray boom does more than just apply water and agents. It is also possible to hang UV-C lamps on the booms, which can help in combating powdery mildew and other pests. "To fight the powdery mildew, those lamps need to be turned on a few hours after sunset, and a few hours before sunrise. We can program those functions, and the spray booms can be operated with an app," Hendrik explains.

Not all developments are "big," but still, the small addition of CE on the packaging of PlantoSys's fertilizers is a big development. The EU demands it, so suppliers have to comply. PlantoSys has managed it and was able to show it at GreenTech, here represented by Leo Hoogeveen.
Pay attention to the CE marking at the bottom. The EU will soon require this from all fertilizer suppliers, and PlantoSys has already got it sorted before the control deadline.
