Running a greenhouse operation is a complicated matter. Management decisions depend on what is happening in the greenhouse, and how the crop develops depends on management's decisions. A consultant is a valuable addition to your team, to guide staff and bring in further information needed to help make educated decisions. HortiSource will use the latest information and technologies available to guide the decisions to be made. One of the tools to help make these decisions is the "GreenScheduler".
During periodic visits, the consultant will look at the crop and discuss with the grower(s) how the crop is developing, and what steps or changes are required to continue to maximize production. In between visits, HortiSource can be contacted by email or phone for continued backup.
After each visit, HortiSource provides management with a written report. The consultant can also take water samples and prescribe fertilizer combinations.
HortiSource prides itself on the fact that we always keep economics in mind. The experience of owning and managing greenhouse operations is a valuable asset when determining the best way to meet and exceed targets. The strong ties with Green Q are a significant asset to having the tools to meet these expectations.
Project Development
Developing and building a greenhouse expansion, or planning and building a brand new greenhouse operation is a capital investment that has to last for many years. You may need a set up that is built with the latest hydroponic or organic growing technology, or sustainable and environmentally friendly production insight. HortiSource has the knowledge and contacts to get you the best value to fit your circumstances.
HortiSource can provide different levels of service. We can check your plans for you. We can design a project for you and have contractors bid on the project. We can do construction progress assessments. Or we can set up a turn-key project from start to finish. It's up to you to decide.
