Dissolved Oxygen – The Hidden Driver of Root Performance in Greenhouse Crops
In high-tech greenhouse tomato and cucumber production, we carefully monitor EC, pH, radiation sums and irrigation strategy. However, one parameter that is often overlooked — yet can significantly influence plant performance — is dissolved oxygen (DO) in the nutrient solution.

Day-Length Decreasing = Time to Adjust Your Water Content
Amid the usual distractions of modern growing life, it’s easy to forget that Autumn 2026 is just around the corner. As day length shortens, now is the critical moment to review and adjust your irrigation strategy. Unlike previous years that brought prolonged dry spells or extreme heat, this year’s weather has been variable. Across the country, many regions are already seeing heavy rainfall and several cloudy days in a row. While this is great for replenishing water reservoirs, it also creates challenges once the sun returns: crops may wilt, and the temptation to overwater is high. My advice: keep substrate water content and EC close to pre-cloudy levels.

Less fertilisation and higher yields with Ambiorix iron polyphosphate
Tomato grower Stoffels from Rijkevorsel (Belgium) started using Ambiorix iron polyphosphate as an alternative to iron chelate a year and a half ago. The inorganic fertiliser Ambiorix does not break down in combination with oxidising disinfectants, which means that less iron needs to be added. According to the grower, the product also contributes to the absorption of other elements such as calcium. Partly because of this, they did not suffer from blossom end rot last year.
