Greenhouse automation in Antalya: higher yields in soilless growing

Antalya is one of Turkey’s largest centres of greenhouse production. In recent years greenhouse automation and soilless growing have stopped being a luxury for strawberry, blueberry, tomato and seedling growers; they have become the production standard.

What is greenhouse automation?

Irrigation, fertigation, temperature, humidity and light. Sensors and software read these values all the time, so the plant gets its water and fertiliser at the right moment. Swings in quality shrink.

Soilless growing

The plant sits in a nutrient solution, not in soil: rock wool, cocopeat, perlite. Irrigation runs on automation from start to finish.

By crop

• Strawberry: precise irrigation and EC control.
• Blueberry: the pH balance is critical.
• Tomato: constant nutrition and climate control.

Irrigation automation

Drip lines, fertigation and sensors work together. The system reads the data and runs the irrigation itself.

What does it bring in Antalya?

Water savings, higher yields, less labour, consistent product quality. For competitive production it is now a must.
