Green Leaves & Herbs
Our solutions reduces the use of pesticides by 98%
Leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula, kale, mustard and spinach are among the most popular locally grown vegetables today. These can be produced locally year-round in controlled environment greenhouses in hydroponics with Top Greenhouses turnkey solution to meet your crop requirements.
Top Greenhouses supply the nutrient film technique (NFT) and are one of the few greenhouse companies in the industry that supply this type of hydroponic growing system for leafy greens.
In NFT, seedlings are transplanted into shallow channels where a thin film of nutrient solution is continuously circulated. The channels are sloped away from a center aisle and drained at the ends back to the water reservoir.
Unlike traditional growing methods, there is no solid rooting medium with NFT. A root mat develops partly in the shallow stream of the re-calculating solution and partly above it. Since the stream is very shallow, the upper surface of the root mat develops above the re-calculating solution. The film nutrient solution is created around the roots which are in the moist air.
