A cleaner greenhouse roof with ReduClean - even without coatings
16-04-2024For removing temporary coatings, such as ReduFuse, ReduHeat and ReduSol, ReduClean is the go-to cleaning agent. However, some growers also use it on uncoated greenhouse roofs. Alstroemeria grower Rick Tesselaar from Luttelgeest can attest to its effectiveness. “We noticed much less dirt and algae growth...
Read moreAnne Elings explains why crops grow better with more light
21-09-2020For a good part of the year, the level of natural light is below optimal for most crops. Any additional light that then enters the greenhouse contributes to improved production and quality, says Anne Elings, Plant Physiologist at Wageningen University & Research.
Read moreGetting more light into the greenhouse in three steps
13-07-2020An old growers saying has it that 1% more light yields 1% higher production. Scientists have since shown that this is in fact a bit more nuanced: depending on the crop this varies from 0.5% to 1.25%. However, the principle remains the same; during a large part of the year all of the sunlight can effectively...
Read moreAn optimal climate in every season
07-01-2020Every climate is different, and each crop has its own preferences. The wide range of ReduSystems coatings makes it possible to manage sunlight throughout the year.
Read moreHow much light does my crop need?
23-12-2019There is an optimal amount of light for every crop. Too little means that production will be low. But too much will put pressure on the yield and quality. So custom work is always key.
Read moreReduFuse and AntiReflect improve control over the cultivation of cucumbers
16-09-2019Cucumber farm Van Lipzig Tuinderijen is constantly working on improving its crop. The ReduFuse and AntiReflect coatings are perfectly suited to meet the desire for better use of the available light.
Read moreInvestment in AntiReflect produces considerably greater yield
09-07-2018Durability tests carried out in actual practice show that AntiReflect lasts at least 2 years. Throughout that time, the extra light in the greenhouse results in considerably greater yields. This is the conclusion of the calculations made by Wageningen University & Research.
Read moreTen percent higher light incidence in greenhouse
09-06-2018Every percent can be converted into higher production. Mardenkro offers a package of solutions designed to improve the incidence of light into a greenhouse by as much as ten percent.
Read moreAntiReflect is going international
19-04-2018The new AntiReflect coating is gaining popularity in the Netherlands. All the more reason to extend the introduction to North-West Europe. Mardenkro guarantees light gain and supports all new users.
Read moreReduSystems products can be combined without problems
19-03-2018All ReduSystems coatings are fully compatible and can therefore be applied on top of each other to achieve the desired result. This also applies to the new solution AntiReflect.
Read moreIt takes skill to apply AntiReflect properly
19-03-2018For AntiReflect to work properly, the thickness of the coating must be within a certain bandwidth. Only certified contractors are able to achieve this.
Read moreTomato grower sees increase in production as a result of AntiReflect
01-03-2018Van Adrichem Kwekerijen in Steenbergen achieved a 5% increase in production last year using AntiReflect, compared to an untreated glasshouse section. “We were pleasantly surprised.”
Read moreThe importance of reliable and independent measurements
02-02-2018Mardenkro is firmly committed to ensure that its products have a sound scientific basis and therefore maintains close contact with Wageningen University & Research, the perfect partner for conducting independent measurements and pursuing new avenues.
Read moreEvery percent more light in winter is pure profit
01-11-2017Light is the limiting factor in production in winter. Every step taken to improve light ingress is therefore welcome.
Read moreOptimizing production
03-10-2017Vegetable and ornamental crops can produce much more than they do at present if the climate conditions are always ideal.
