Why are hydroponic grow gutter systems in wide circulation worldwide and widely used in large greenhouse projects? There are undoubtedly many advantages of using soilless hydroponic grow gutter systems compared to traditional soilless facilities, and these advantages provide an inexhaustible source of raw power for the development of modern agriculture. Today, we will discuss why soilless hydroponic grow gutter systems are widely used in modern soilless cultivation projects in facility agriculture.

The hydroponic grow gutter system discussed in this paper refers to the steel hydroponic grow gutter system continuously processed at the project site inside of greenhouse, not other types of pvc gutter hydroponics or PP folding grow gutter system, because compared to the steel planting gutter, other textures of planting gutters do not have a long service life, which is not conducive to the calculation of the average cost of the greenhouse after a one-time investment, so this paper will not be discussed.

The steel hydroponic grow gutter system has a lower unit cost and a higher return per unit.

The unit cost mentioned here is of course limited by time, because the investment in modern implant systems is significant and it is difficult to recover the cost of the implant in a short period of time. In the long term, a steel downspout hydroponics grow gutter system can greatly increase the lifetime of the complete implant system. If you choose a planting system with high corrosion resistance, the theoretical service life of these systems can exceed 20 years in the high heat and humidity systems inside the greenhouse.

In large greenhouse projects, the on-site production of planters can greatly speed up the construction of greenhouse interiors, and special production equipment has been innovated and created. Today, the number of planters produced on site in greenhouses can exceed 10,000 meters in a single day, and the installation of this 10,000 meter hydroponic grow gutter requires only actual or 20 workers, which can greatly reduce the installation cost of planting facilities, which is crucial for the grasp of planting windows in some projects.

The continuous makeing of hydroponic grow gutter inside the greenhouse is more important than traditional planting troughs because the continuous production of planting troughs completely solves the problem of continuous connection of planting troughs through joints, which can bring unexpected effects to hydroponic tomato yield per plant, the grower or operator will no longer need to worry about the leakage of water from the planting troughs, and at the same time, the hydroponic grow gutter have no joints of steel plate cutouts, which can effectively avoid steel gutters from rusting at the joints.

At the same time, the dutch bucket hydroponics grow gutter produced inside the greenhouse has incomparable planting integrity, and the continuous production of a single planting trough body ensures the neatness of planting inside the greenhouse in large scale planting projects, and lays a good foundation for a large-scale, standardized planting system inside the greenhouse. Thus, it can be seen that the commercial value brought by the use of the hydroponic grow gutter system is actually more than its own, and its role is actually more than its own The value of the hydroponic grow gutter system is greater than itself.

A detailed explanation of the overall increase in planting efficiency of hydroponic grow gutter.

Scientific planting density for the scientific management of a good layout, a good start. Currently, the mainstream glass or film greenhouse, we planted in the 8 m planting open construction of the cultivation tank is usually 5, cultivation gutter planting spacing of 1.6 meters between. Some growers initially consider this density to be too high, but in modern greenhouse systems we usually intervene manually with tomato seedlings at an early stage, with single and double vines being the most mainstream and scientific way of growing. In an infinitely growing tomato crop, the upper vines are very well developed in the later stages of growth, so a reasonable planting density is critical.

Obviously, with modern farm machinery inside the greenhouse, such as picking trucks and special equipment inside the greenhouse, we can easily manage the plants in the greenhouse and not only reduce the amount of labor required significantly, but it is also important to note that, similar to the design of elevated hydroponic strawberries growing system, tomatoes grown in hanging or bracket plantings are usually about 50-70 cm above the ground, which is the most comfortable height for workers to operate manually. This height is the most comfortable and reasonable height for workers to operate manually, and workers do not work as hard in modern greenhouses as they do in traditional land.

The modern planting system, which combines many high technologies, also provides a good platform for other high-tech planting facilities and equipment. At present, many greenhouse companies are exploring the use of AI intelligent technology to add a new impetus to traditional agriculture.

Advanced modern planting systems combined with a variety of intelligent control systems can achieve active intervention in the natural growth cycle of the crop, through the special intervention of the crop can make the crop growth cycle and ripening window displacement, in order to bring a more substantial profit window, but also to bring consumers the special taste or satisfaction of anti-seasonal berries.

Growing conditions are not too harsh to build hydroponic grow gutter systems

In conventional agriculture, high quality soil that meets the growing conditions is essential to grow natural vegetables to the taste of the public. In some areas with extremely dry or saline soils, there is no way to grow edible vegetables or fruits. But modern planting facilities can solve this problem. Hydroponic grow gutter or soilless cultivation, we can build large planting units in the desert, and these units can fundamentally solve the embarrassing situation that the soil cannot be planted.

At the same time, in some areas of high quality soil, or more economically developed areas. Soilless planting system, planting trough as the core of the planting system can effectively solve the soil pollution or water pollution brought about by traditional soil planting, nowadays, the abuse of pesticides and chemical fertilizers has in fact invisibly passed to many other physical industry chain, these effects are subtle, slow, but really serious, soilless planting system to completely solve or mitigate this risk.

One of the major advantages of hydroponic grow gutter systems is that they allow precise irrigation and control of crops, and for the return of waste liquid from full or excessive irrigation, the tank’s unique return ditch allows the excess liquid to be fully concentrated and recycled into the irrigation system, where it can be reused in the irrigation system through re-filtering and disinfection. This design can effectively avoid the environmental pollution caused by the waste liquid eliminated from the hydroponic grow gutter.

Hydroponic grow gutter systems provide a platform for the rest of the auxiliary systems to work together

In hanging gutter or bracketed gutter systems, the bottom of the planter is usually used to hold carbon dioxide drip tubes, which are suspended below the planter or between the plants, and the carbon dioxide is slowly released into the greenhouse at a certain rate. Therefore, the steel grow gutter body provides an effective support for these drip irrigation or CO2 mitigation tubes.

The internal heating system of the greenhouse is another one of the important components closely related to the cultivation steel gutter. Usually, we set up double or single rows of heating pipes among the plant plants, and in the high latitude areas, the warm heated hot water flows from the heating pipes in the cold winter and is fully released to the middle position of the plants to provide safety for the plants over the winter.

At the same time, the track support of the picking truck inside the greenhouse provides a track for the picking truck to travel on, while its double rows of heating pipes also take on the role of heating the air in the roots of the plants and the lower part of the greenhouse.

Nowadays, in modern planting, different types of grow gutter are used for different crops, but the shape of the gutters always ensures two roles, one of which is support, and the other important role is to undertake the recovery support of the water and fertilizer system, the cultivation steel gutter will be reserved on one or both sides of one of the water and fertilizer recovery pipes, the longer the cultivation tank, the more important is the setting of these drains, in the future The longer the cultivation tank, the more important is the installation of these drains, which we will describe in detail in a later article on grow gutter models.
