From a short dip to history to modern cultivation & fertilization practices of grape vines and future thoughts ever increasing efficiency.
Join Haifa Group’s experts Filippo Correddu and Ronald Valke to learn more about the history, present and future of grape vine cultivation

Managing the right BALANCE between cation and anions is the key for adequate fertigation.
Nutritional deficiencies are very common and will always lead to loss of yield, but how can you correct or even prevent it ?
Providing more nutrients is NOT necessarily the right answer !
Join Haifa Group’s experts Marco Molenaar & Filippo Correddu to learn more about deficiency management, ion mobility, ion relationships and how to BALANCE it right

Substrate water content is critical to provide the right balance of water and air to the root zone. Too little or to high content will immediately impact plant performance and development translated to yield loss. Join Haifa Group’s greenhouse experts Ronald Valke and Filippo Correddu to learn more about the right way to measure, calculate and manage substrate water content.

pH of aqueous solutions in agricultural systems may be affected by multiple factors and requires careful management to improve success.
Proper management should include the full cycle of water in your greenhouse – from concentrated fertilizer solution to the mixing tank, dripper, substrate, plant roots, drain, disinfection systems and back again.

Amparo Pinar y Juan Manuel Díaz Martínez, expertos de Haifa Group, comparten aquí sus ideas sobre los distintos métodos para mejorar la absorción del calcio.

Over time drippers tend to clog and block, resulting in an unequal supply of water and nutrients to your plants. Haifa Group's experts Tal Shani and Ronald Valke are here to share a very simple solution. "Check it by yourself".

Roots are ideal for nutriant and water uptake, yet in some cases even the roots can use a little foliar support. How and when should we support them? Haifa Group's experts Guy De Villartay and Yishai Wachsmann are here to talk about the advantages and best application of foliar nutrition.

Calcium is a critical element affecting fruit quality, plant health and cellular strength. Being highly immobile, calcium shortages are often not even related to calcium supply and can challenge the best of growers. Haifa Group's expert Juan Manuel Diaz Martinez and Marco Molenaar are here to share their insights for other means to improve calcium uptake.

Keeping your field always well-nourished is important indeed, but is there more to it? Haifa Group's experts Filippo Correddu and Dimitrios Kantzaras are here to share professional insights about the importance of nutrient ratio and EC management through the various crop stages and changing climatic conditions.

Water sources significantly vary in quality. pH is a key factor evaluating nutrients availability. Haifa Group's experts Filippo Correddu and Marco Molenaar are here to highlight the key elements to consider about your water source to achieve the best nutrition for your crop.

Badly mixed fertilizers can result with a layer of sediments at the bottom of your tank. Haifa Group's experts Juan Manuel Diaz Martinez and Janusz Wysowski are here to provide some simple tips to achieve a well dissolved stock solution, avoid unexpected challenges and even save time doing so.
