Cultivation methods

Innovative cultivation methods for maximum efficiency and quality

Our dam systems set new standards in berry growing. The patented topsoil dam optimises yields and fruit quality, while the substrate dam enables flexible cultivation of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Both systems offer high efficiency and sustainability.

The topsoil dam uses the existing field soil as its building material. It allows single- or double-row planting with up to 60,000 strawberry plants per hectare, needs no herbicides and clearly brings the start of harvest forward compared with conventional open-field cultivation. The substrate dam is particularly suitable for soils with depleted fertility: it works with added substrate and brings the harvest forward by about 10 to 14 days compared with table-top cultivation.

  • Row spacing 1.20 m
  • 8,300 lm (running metres) per hectare
  • Significantly earlier harvest
  • Best picking performance and fruit quality
  • Same row spacing, same track widths, same machines as the single-row substrate dam
  • No herbicide use needed!
