LETTUCES PRODUCTION

Hydroponic means growing without soil. From there, several different systems have been put together since the early sixties, starting mostly in England and Israel. Early systems were very basic, replacing soil by growing media like sand, peat moss or rockwool.Why does it work? Because plants are not feeding on soil but on minerals hidden in the soil. The purpose of hydroponic agriculture is to make those minerals available to the plants directly through water. Modern hydroponic growing

systems are using more and more water as a growing media, preventing depletion of natural resources such as peat moss or accumulation of residues like rockwool and other fibers.

While current lettuce production figures for greenhouse soil production show harvests of 108 plants/m2/year, HydroNov projects are harvesting up to 500 plants/m2/year in a wide variety of climate around the world. Produce is clean and free of any contaminants present in outdoor crops. Production schedule allow even harvest every day year round. See our videos for a description of the growing process

Deep Water Floating Rafts Technology (DWT)Floating Rafts Technology has been developed at the University of Arizona (U.S.A.) and at Italian Research Centers in the late seventies and has been adapted to commercial production by HydroNov Inc. from Mirabel, Canada. Since 1988, Floating Rafts Technology has been installed over thirty hectare (30ha) (3,000,000 square feet) of greenhouse in Canada, U.S.A., Mexico and Asia and has been used successfully to grow butter head and curly lettuces at a rate never reached before. Floating Rafts Technology has also been used for demonstration of public interest in EPCOT CENTER, Florida, U.S.A.

Floating Rafts Growing Technology is certainly the most water conscious system among existing hydroponic growing systems. One of its key features is the use of a large volume of water allowing enormous buffer for fertilization and oxygen control as well as economic plants transportation by flotation. This large buffer brings a level of security and easiness that no other growing system can match. Although large volume of water is required at the beginning for filling up growing beds, equipment and know-how developed by HydroNov Inc. allow user to grow crop after crop, year after year, without having to discard any water. We just keep adding as much fresh water as plants required through evapo-transpiration. Absolutely no water is lost through soil or growing media, no direct evaporation to the sun, no dumping of growing solution, no dripping gutters; just plants’ needs.

In terms of output, Floating Rafts Growing Technology will produce four times more than any soil-based growing techniques. Up than 500 heads of lettuce and 40 Kg of baby leaf can be produced from each square meter of production area on a yearly basis. Particularly well adapted for the production of any leafy vegetables, Floating Rafts Growing Technology is also a potential winner for the production of fruits and flowers and for plants’ propagation.

Advantages

• Huge buffer for fertilization and water temperature regulation

• Cost-effective and efficient internal transportation

• Excellent space utilization and fast turnover (18 lettuce crops per year)

• Permanent re-utilization of nutrient solution, no dumping of solution, rational use of water

• Work load is easy to control and mechanize• System technology is simple (low capex)• Pro-Environment :• Minimal use of fresh water• No waste of nutrients• Integrated management of pests and diseases • Optimizes energy management and conservation• Computer-assisted production and monitoring• • Ideal growing system for : • Lettuces including Butterhead, Batavia, Curly,

Romaine, Leaf, Crisp, etc...• Most low-profile leafy vegetables & herbs • Like Arugula, kale, Spinach, Mache, Basil, Baby

lettuces, etc... • Plant cuttings for propagation

In contrast to most greenhouse operations, the Floating Rafts system allow the produce to move smoothly from seeding to harvest, while workers stay at their work station, well equipped to perform their work under the best conditions. No more bended back working in difficult conditions and lost time looking for the ripe produce; the crop is coming on time at the right spot, ready to be processed.Flotation is used to perform most of the movement, eliminating the maintenance costs associated with mechanical conveyors. Specially developed equipment facilitates the processing at different growing stages: Seeding, Transplantation, Harvest, Packaging, Cooling and Shipping.The end result is an efficient process performed by a reduced crew: from 5 to 15 people per hectare depending on product grown, type of packaging and level of mechanization.

After 20 years of research, it is now possible to grow high density direct seeded crops using hydroponic technology. A real breakthrough, that is permitting the efficient production of baby salads, culinary herbs, medicinal herbs, asian greens... Any crop that will perform well in a direct seeded cycle on a soil-like media.

Furthermore, the 2 main operations of seeding and harvesting are fully automated, needing only 3 workers to operate the system. And productivity is there too, with very short crop rotations of 15-20 days whenever there is sufficient light; bringing a harvest anywhere between 20 and 60 Kg per square meter per year depending of the crop.

AQUAPONIC & AQUACULTURE

Aquaculture & AquaponicsRecent development in water recirculation systems for fish production are quite similar to those made for recirculated hydroponic plant production. New technologies now allow indoor production levels up to 200Kg per square meter annually according to species, helping to overcome the dramatic decrease output from traditional wild fishing.

Recirculated AquacultureThe development of water recirculation applied to fish production has made it possible to grow several fish species in a wide range of locations in the world. One of the main advantages is to save water while increasing production levels, thus helping to protect water resources while helping to feed the world.

Hydronov’s approach is to multiply the number of starting lots to achieve continuous production throughout the year, thus leading to a continuous harvest output. Each lot has a set number of individual fish that will be monitored through their entire lives, thus making possible implementation of a constant quality tracking system. The end result is maximum productivity and full traceability of first quality fish.

Recirculating systems have less of an impact upon the environment because of their closed nature - wastes and un-eaten feed are not simply released into the ambient environment in the manner that they are with netpens, and exotic species and diseases are not introduced into the environment. In recirculating systems, wastes are filtered out of the culture system and disposed of in a responsible manner. Recirculating systems can be built just about anywhere, including in urban settings where they can use existing structures and be placed close to markets, thereby reducing transportation costs.

ORGANIC HYDROPONICS

The Organic Way To Grow Hydroponically – HydroNov Growing Philosophy and Practice

In a good organic soil, an healthy and active top layer of 4 to 12 inches is the key to ensuring disease-free, uniform productivity of crops; it is now well known that truly sustainable growth must be supported by biological activity which comes from work done by all kinds of bacteria, fungi and worms to aerate and nourish the soil, integrating added organic matter and minerals and making it available to living plants.

Most other hydroponics systems approach is opposite to that and is more similar to mainstream large fields agriculture, where the tendency was to replace all biological activity by more mineral nutrients and then more pesticides and commercial fertilizers to try to keep everything under control; we are seeing now the limits of that “un”-natural model and the return to more natural ways that enable the plants to thrive in the ideal conditions they need for healthy growth.

Since its introduction in the early eighties, the HydroNov approach has been to cultivate its12 inches of « top water» exactly as if it were organic top soil, i.e. promoting and maintaining vibrant, active microbial activity and keeping it active and balanced for years by supplementing only fresh water that is lost to evapo-transpiration of plants and air as the roots breathe in a natural environment where they are never stressed by chemicals, bad weather, insects or disease. No emptying of the “organic top soil water” solution is ever needed or desirable, as supplemental mineral nutrition to plants (which can vary by species) has always been based on a single “as needed” element approach, also an HydroNov exclusive, whereby we routinely monitor individual mineral content and feed the plant exactly what has been consumed (and is needed to be consumed).

Now, we can routinely grow hydroponically in 100% compliance with the strictest organic practices by replacing mineral nutrients by anaerobically biodigested organic fertilization that comes from our integrated fish farm as well as from other natural mineral sources.

Organic hydroponics is now a reality, and once again HydroNov is the one to introduce a viable and practical application for it.
