Key Takeaways:

  • KUBO’s trial greenhouse is testing how strawberries can be scaled in Ultra-Clima greenhouses with an emission-free CO₂ dosing strategy.
  • Early results have attracted international interest, with projects now being implemented in Canada and Saudi Arabia.
  • The trials focus on knowledge for growers, including yields, quality, varieties, substrates, and climate strategies.
  • Addressing the challenge of healthy young plant supply is central to boosting grower outcomes.
  • KUBO positions its trial centers as knowledge hubs, providing insights that support sustainability and efficiency worldwide.

Trial KUBO Greenhouses as Knowledge Hubs

KUBO operates two dedicated trial facilities where new cultivation methods and technologies are tested under practical conditions. These sites serve as platforms to evaluate innovations across crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Insights generated are intended to guide growers on solutions that align with local market and climate conditions.


Practical Insights for Growers

The current strawberry trial aims to generate knowledge rather than spotlight technology. Areas of focus include:

  • Improving yields and product quality
  • Testing multiple varieties and substrates
  • Developing cultivation strategies adaptable to diverse climates

A significant challenge identified is the availability of healthy young plants. Transport difficulties can affect plant quality and, ultimately, yield. By examining this issue closely, KUBO is both expanding its expertise and addressing one of the daily realities growers face.


KUBO: Supporting Sustainable Horticulture

KUBO emphasizes that the value of its trials lies in translating findings into practical recommendations for growers worldwide. These include:

  • More efficient use of water and energy
  • Strategies for achieving higher yields
  • Enhancements in product quality

By continuing research and sharing results, KUBO strengthens its position as both an innovator and knowledge partner in sustainable horticulture. The company highlights innovation, sustainability, and knowledge sharing as central pillars of its international strategy.
