Additional research facilities at Delphy

For years, Delphy Improvement Centre in Bleijswijk and Certhon share the same ambition: to contribute to global solutions in the field of health, food safety and sustainability, through knowledge sharing and knowledge development. This is reflected in the Improvement Centre, which was opened a few years ago and has been used for various research projects since. The facility has now been extended with the addition of two climate cells.

Following the research facilities in the greenhouse, Delphy wanted to make an in-depth study of research and research methods. With the two climate cells realized by Certhon last summer, Delphy can gain more knowledge about daylight-free cultivation and the physiological aspects of plants. This knowledge can also be applied in the greenhouse.

The two climate cells can be found in the reception area of the research centre. The doors of the cells are equipped with two small windows, so visitors can see which test set-up with which crops are in. A few weeks ago, the first tomato and cucumber plants were placed and the research started. During the cultivation process, there will be frequent consultation between Delphy and Certhon, to share advice and knowledge.
