What exactly will hyacinth cultivation in the Netherlands look like in a decade ? No one really know , but there is clearly a future tense for these flowers , with different track lead to it . That became clear during a well - attended interactive meeting on September 30 , 2021 .
Greenport Duin- en Bollenstreek ( an farming cooperative ) , the Dutch Royal General Bulbgrowers Association ( KAVB ) , Markglory ( a flower wholesaler ) , and Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) organized this event . attendant talk about the latest results from current research into sustainable hyacinth finish , and participants from all the hyacinth chain link reviewed the research ’s status .
The enquiry aims to contract the fourth dimension it takes to grow hyacinths outdoors , which will considerably reduce the risk of infection of viruses and diseases , such as Pythium . It is , therefore , necessary to carry out part of the cultivation under cover condition . Wouter Groenink and Natalia Moreno are the investigator on this labor .
They said partly arise jacinth indoors is possible , for example with LED lighting or specific temperature treatment , but there are still several questions that must be resolve in the next few years . The hyacinth growers take part in this enquiry confirmed this at the meeting .
For outside refinement , study are being done into develop these bloom out of the soil in a PPS ' Bollencoaster ' . Initial results look respectable , says the WUR ’s Casper Slootweg . you may find more info about these research projects on Vital Crops ' website .
Sustainable future perspectiveThe future , thus , looks to have a sustainable perspective , all five participant suggest during the concluding round tabular array discussion , if , of course , sure conditions are good . The most important of these is time . inquiry takes a long metre before entrepreneurs can take the necessary steps . They would choose not to anticipate the situation using half - baked conclusions .
Another condition is the uphold availability of crop protection products . Those present conceive troupe specialization is a naturalistic picture for the sector .
