Berries

State-of-the-art technology for a crop that leaves no room for error

Berries—such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries—are high-value and highly sensitive crops. They are primarily grown in soilless crops, whether in greenhouses, tunnels, or even in open fields, typically in pots or bags filled with growing media.

This cultivation model requires highly technical irrigation management, as any deviation directly affects fruit quality, post-harvest shelf life, and the profitability of the growing season.

Key Challenges in Soilless Berry Cultivation

Total precision to ensure quality, safety, and profitability

High standards of quality, freshness and presentation

Berries are highly perishable, susceptible to fungal diseases and pests, and extremely sensitive to post-harvest handling. The market demands berries with good color, firm texture, and no defects or mechanical damage.

Low available root volume

 The growing medium has limited water-holding and nutrient-holding capacity, which requires frequent and very precise irrigation.

Very specific agronomic needs

These crops are sensitive to soil pH, Salinity, excess moisture, and water stress. They require highly precise localized irrigation and controlled nutrition. Even slight deviations can affect the firmness, flavor, or health of the fruit.

Labor shortages and rising labor costs

High labor costs due to the limited availability of workers and the need for specialized skills. Harvesting is done by hand, takes place frequently, and must be carried out with great care.
