Our Advanced and Sustainable Agricultural Techniques
Rift Valley Roses integrates advanced and sustainable agricultural techniques across fertilization, crop protection, and soil management to optimize plant health and productivity while minimizing environmental impact.
Fertilization Plan
Our fertilization strategy ensures precise and efficient nutrient delivery to our crops through innovative technologies:
Soil moisture and temperature probes monitor soil conditions, allowing efficient and targeted fertilizer application.
These tools help optimize nutrient uptake by the plants, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients without waste.
A high-precision fertigation system that accurately applies nutrients, enhancing plant health while conserving resources.
Crop Protection Plan
Our approach to crop protection emphasizes biological and preventive methods, reducing reliance on chemical treatments:
We use natural predators, entomopathogenic microorganisms, pheromone lures, and mass trapping to manage pests and diseases.
Preventive measures such as removing dead wood, pruning, managing foliage, and adjusting greenhouse side curtains create less favorable conditions for pests and diseases.
Soil Management Plan
Soil health is vital for sustainable farming. We employ a comprehensive soil management plan to maintain and improve soil structure and fertility:
We incorporate 250 m³ of medium-sized pumice and 135 m³ of cow manure per hectare into the top 30-40 cm of soil, improving soil aeration and drainage.
Twice yearly, we apply rose compost at 80 m³ per hectare and fermented organic fertilizer at 3.5 tonnes per hectare to support soil nutrient balance and microbial health.
These sustainable agricultural practices reflect our commitment to environmentally conscious farming, ensuring that Rift Valley Roses maintains a productive and healthy ecosystem for years to come.
