Substrate dam strawberries single-row
Facts
- 8,300 lm (running metres) per hectare
- Same row spacing, same track widths, same machines as the single-row topsoil dam
- 18 litres of substrate per metre
Benefits
- No straw needed
- No herbicide use
- Clearly earlier harvest, by approx. 10 to 14 days, compared with table-top cultivation in the tunnel
- Best picking performance and fruit quality
- Can be combined with the Beekenkamp Erdbeerbak
Frequently asked questions
- Which areas is the single-row substrate dam suitable for?
- It is well suited to growing areas with low soil fertility, because the plants grow in the added substrate.
- Why does the fruit hang at the sides with the single-row dam?
- The dam is planted in a single row: no fruit lies on the substrate, it hangs down to the side. This allows ideal picking.
- What are the key figures of the single-row substrate dam?
- Row spacing 1.20 m, 8,300 running metres (lm) per hectare and 18 litres of substrate per metre.
- Which tractor is needed?
- We use a tractor with a track width of 2.40 m that is specially adapted to this cultivation system. This allows it to drive over two dams at the same time. The dams are formed with a four-row substrate dam machine (single dam).
- What should be considered regarding soil moisture and lime?
- The substrate dam requires significantly more soil moisture than the topsoil dam. Before the dams are formed, we recommend 25 to 30 t/ha of lime.
- How can I use the system?
- We form the dams as a contract service directly on your farm – without your own machine capital and also plannable for single seasons. We are happy to advise you on buying our machines. Call us or write to us.
