No grower can do without a decent sounding control panel . Even now , when clime computers and automate systems keep grower all over the world in various path , every day many decision still have to be take which have a great wallop on the healthy growth of the plant . In ' greenhouse horticulture area ' such as the Netherlands and Belgium , you’re able to go to fellow growers , and there are also plenty of finish adviser . In many other rural area , this is different , and that is why Bert van Geffen is start as a motorbus for growers worldwide . " As a grower , I myself have experienced the lack of a proper sounding board , and I now desire to fulfill that role for growers all over the world . "
The name Bert van Geffen already gives the arcanum off : Bert is Dutch , and has a lot of experience in gardening to boot . " I am the son of a grower . My father grew strawberries in spring and tomatoes in the twilight . Later , it was flowers , such as the lisianthus and chrysanthemum , because the import of strawberry from Spain started to take off . When my father passed aside , and I could not expand the ship’s company because of the zoning plans , I decided to emigrate to New Zealand . "
Varying finish circumstancesFrom that mo , Bert gained experience in growing rose , tulip , tomato plant , bell peppers , and cucumbers . No longer in the Netherlands , Bert still kept a close eye on the development in the sector . " Over the old age I have learned to grow with the latest techniques , both conventional and organic , also in other nation than New Zealand . At the moment , I am growing in Denmark , but a calendar month and a half from now , the Netherlands will again be my foundation of operation . particularly in the field of mood I have gained a sight of expertness . "
Bert is now willing to partake in that expertise with growers all over the Earth . " I have in person experienced how it is to lack a vocalise board as a grower , a spar partner to talk over the conclusion that have to be made in the polish to get the in force out of the crops . Particularly smaller cultivator in sometimes quite removed areas can feel alone when it comes to growing . I require to change that . The profession of grower seems a dying professing in some country , in spite of the high demand for the products . "
count ' over the shoulder’Together with raiser , Bert hopes to get the good out of the crop all over the world . Not just by giving advice , but also by teach cultivator thing . Climate is an of import take here . Bert likes to show people how to work with the Priva estimator , which he has had good experiences with . " The clime computer work it , even from a distance , possible to ' see ' how the plant are doing . "
But being a cultivator is more than just place up a climate computer the right way . Bert : " You have to take a sight of different factors into account , and set the systems in the greenhouse in the right way to forbid disease and pathogens , and achieve a good production at the same time . "
In the get time , Bert hopes that raiser will give him the chance to ' face over the articulatio humeri ' in many unlike situations . " That is possible with modern communicating means , but as often as the grower likes , I will be with him in the nursery . What is very authoritative is that I will be there for support almost 24/7 . I am already active in Romania , Kazakhstan , Canada , the United States , and of course New Zealand . Sometimes for short periods , but sometimes also for long periods
I have notice that , for small or remote company , it is often unmanageable and expensive to take in noesis about irrigation , climate , or pathogen ascendency . With my experience and the modern technique , I can also help from a distance , enabling me to offer my services without high price , while the grower stays ' in control ' .
