Greenhouses, we show two Jury: Chief Agronomist Combine Yuriy Kriulko (pictured below) and an agronomist for the Protection of Plant Yuri Brown. Above the very first question - about what is working in constant heat and humidity - they just laugh. "We are doing comfort plants, not people - Yuriy answers - so the plants in the first place. Though when you go to the office, there is also heat, -20 °. Therefore, there is a big difference. But in the summer it is very hot, despite the ventilation. But do not worry, you can suffer. "

First, we go into the brightly lit and almost heated greenhouse with cucumbers. Here + 21o and humid stalks taller than a man. Vegetable seeds are used mainly Dutch, and the method of cultivation called "low-volume hydroponics." The essence is that the vegetables are growing in small vessels not with the ground and with the mineral wool in which no nutrients except those that come from the nutrient solution. "Feed" the plants through a dropper, the amount of water and fertilizer is calculated depending on the time of year, the size of plants, presence-absence of the sun outside.

"If some fertilizers do not have time to enter the soil, sprayed them through the leaves also occurs podkromka. All fertilizers are the same as under normal conditions, when vegetables grown in open ground. And do not think that this is some kind of harmful substances. Here everyone is afraid of nitrates, but who ever knows what nitrates? "- Says Yuriy. Yuri picks up: "We have only used Biosecurity plants from pests. Here you can see on a piece of fine sawdust? It entomophage - predatory insects, they are so small that they can not even see. But if you get here at least some of the pest larvae, they immediately find it and eat. "

Every ten days, the products combine an independent examination checks for nitrates - takes samples.

In a greenhouse with tomatoes cool and dark: it does not include the lamp, so the temperature - about 18 ° C. By the way, pollinate tomatoes specially brought from Holland bumblebees. The life of a hornet's family - only 2-3 weeks, so new immigrants drive up constantly.

In the greenhouse with young cucumbers at the same time we learn why plants are tall: it turns out that it took more strength in the leaves, the initial ovary (ie, the first, tiny pickles) breaks off. Yuri meanwhile drew attention to the boxes placed throughout nevysazhennymi plants: "This so-called insurance fund: we always have about 10% more seedlings, so that you can replace the plant if it is not accepted, or something else happens."

In total, the plant employs about 200 people, including 80 growers. The salary of the piece depends on the number of sold vegetables.



Meanwhile, we are heading in a greenhouse with lettuce, basil, onion and parsley. Here's another way of growing - flow hydroponics. Plants in small cups are in the trenches, which are constantly fed into the nutrient solution. "With these crops is much less fuss, - says Yuri A.. - Lettuce, for example, is ready for sale 30 days after planting, to him did not even have time nothing happened, no pests will not reach. But it is here that the weed can grow: the cups are not filled with mineral wool and peat, it may be extraneous seeds ".

Minsk lettuce or basil can be ten times cheaper than imported. But with cucumbers or tomatoes is different: it is necessary to include in the value of the cost of gas and electricity.

"From the point of view of health, with the technology of such vegetables are safe. They contain less active ingredients than the ground, but the variety of the menu. From the point of view of nature, consumed a lot of resources devoted a lot of greenhouse gases, such a production more waste than the crop of open ground.

Therefore it is necessary to include in the menu, a small amount of greenhouse products, adding them to a frozen or fresh vegetables and fruit storage. By the way, vitamin herbs can be grown and on their own, on a window sill without light, grow root vegetables (beets and parsley), onions, watercress and other seeds ».
