Sprayponics for Tomato
High Quality & High Productivity
No Culture Medium・Optimal Nitrogen Control・High-wire, Dense Planting
- 1. Spay of culture liquid directly to the roots system.
- 2. No solid medium and easy to clean up.
- 3. The system makes cultivation all year round.
- 4. The harvest amount is increased.
- 5. Control of nitrogen makes optimal LAI.
- 6. It makes tomato fruits good quality.
Sprayponics for tomato is a method invented by Kaneko Seeds Co., Ltd.
In the conventional tomato cultivation, tomato plants grow vegetatively and dense leaves suppress the light intensity. It causes harvest loss and low quality fruits.
In Sprayponics for tomato system, culture liquid is directly sprayed to the roots of tomato plants.
The system can control the contents of culture liquid. The amount of nitrogen (N) can be controlled. It makes the plants grow more reproductively. The method is called “quantitative fertilization control method.”
The leaves of plants become slim and the light intensity can be optimal. It makes leaf area index (LAI) optimal for tomato fruit growth.
The number of plants per 10a can be increased to more than 3,500 and more tomato fruits can be harvested.
High quality tomato fruits are harvested all year round. Long stage with high-wire induction method is recommended.
Fecilities and Instruments
The Root system in the air
Full of oxygen (O2)
Spray hits the roots directly
The fertilizer contral
The fertilizer contral directly affects the root system.
No time rug because fertilizer is directly sprayed to the root system.
It supplies only efficient volume of Nitrogen per day.
It suppresses the vegetative growth of the plants.
It makes leaves compact and stems slim.
It enables dense planting. 3,000-4,000 plants/10a
It makes leaves compact and stems slim.
Light effectively comes to the leaves.
Proper leaf area index (LAI).
Enough light makes tomato fruits grow healthy.
Less irregular tomato fruits.
