“Rationalization of the use of water resources in container production in ornamental horticulture”(“Razionalizzazione dell’uso delle risorse idriche nel settore del florovivaismo in contenitore) is the title of a 36 page publication realized by the Minoprio Foundation in collaboration with MAC and two nurseries in Switzerland (Alberto Stierlin and Manetti Vivai). The text describes concrete possibilities to equip nurseries with rational water saving methods that do not impact on the economic competitivity of nurseries.Utilizing these methods, nurseries can improve the quality and uniformity of plants and promote shorter crop cycles. When associated with appropriate fertirrigation techniques, a saving of labour can also be obtained. Adrana Colombo, Alberto Tosca, Alessandro Pozzi, Massimo Valajussa, Giovanni D’Angelo. Realized with the contribution of the EU (Rural development Plan 2000-2006). |
