Developments in the area of cultivation and crop protection are taking place at a fast pace. Whereas in the past we controlled pests by applying a crop protection agent, nowadays along with the grower we concentrate on supervising and managing the crop as a whole. This requires from us, as supplier, a broad, pro-active and knowledge-intensive approach to the whole crop.
The basis of crop protection is monitoring the growth of the crop, the pressure of diseases and pests, and factors regarding the soil and the environment. On this basis, sustainable choices are made. The deployment of crop protection agents takes place within an integrated approach. Organic crop protection agents and natural enemies therefore form a vital part of the integrated crop protection. Many ornamental plant and vegetable growers are successfully using this approach.
Innovations
Van Iperen introduces innovations along with its growers and its specialized teams of cultivation advisors, suppliers and research organizations. Together they search for the best solution within existing and new frameworks. Tests and projects in various cultivations contribute to this end. Van Iperen operates on the basis of sustainable quality and the needs of the customer. In addition, Van Iperen keeps its relations up-to-date with regard to topicalities about crops and cultivation.
Transfer of knowledge
Van Iperen organizes annual crop-orientated, technical meetings for growers and wholesalers and traders. The objective of these meetings is a collective transfer of knowledge and modernization. The specialist contribution in a study club setting also forms a valuable supplement.
Crop protection plan
The government has determined that every user of crop protection agents must be in the possession of a completed crop protection plan, prior to each growing season. In order to be of service to you, we have drawn up a lay-out of a crop protection plan.
