We're busy doing trials on Mildew susceptibilty in tomato, to better understand the relation between nutrition and plant health.

In the summer of 2024, we conducted a deficiency trial for peppers in our poly-greenhouse research facility. The goal of this trial was to induce deficiencies for P, K, Mg, Mn, Zn & B.

On the following days in 2025 our company is closed because of holidays:

The past months our consultant Eric Hegger has been diving in to the different elemental interactions in grape, based on the data we have collected over the years in combination with on-site research.

Our interns are currently conducting a 20-week research project at NovaCropControl diving into the relations between nutrition and plant health.

In the summer of 2024, we conducted a deficiency trial for cucumbers in our poly-greenhouse research facility. The goal of this trial was to induce deficiencies for N, P, K, Mg, Mn, Zn & B.

In this vlog you can find more information on our tipburn trial in lettuce, performed in our poly-greenhouse research facility. With the goal to reduce the issue of tipburn in lettuce cultivation with nutrition. 

In this vlog you can find more information on our pepper deficiency trial, performed in our poly-greenhouse research facility. The trial focussed on showcasing defiencies in phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc and boron. With the goal to get more insight into deficiency levels in plantsap of peppers and what visual symptoms the deficiency shows. 

In this vlog you can find more information on our cucumber deficiency trial, performed in our poly-greenhouse research facility. The trial focussed on showcasing defiencies in nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc and boron. With the goal to get more insight into deficiency levels in plantsap of cucumber and what visual symptoms the deficiency shows. 

Correctly preparing nutrient solutions is the basis for a good nutrient balance within the plant. This involves various factors such as the composition of the fertilizers, the order of addition and factors that influence the solubility of the substances. This article will elaborate on the focus points and possible pitfalls when preparing nutrient solutions.

Quality and development has a great importance to NovaCropControl. We are continuously working on further developing our plantsap and water analyzes. With this we try to achieve an ever better reflection of the plant's nutrient absorption.

April 3rd we went out with 2700 bouqeuts of Dutch tulips from Koomen Bloembollen Ens to thank all health care workers of the ETZ hospital in

This fall we did an experiment with maize to gain more knowledge about this crop. The deficienties were clearly visible! Contact us if you have interest in sampling maize!

We had already expected this, but now we have been able to confirm it through a test that we carried out on a tomato plant. Phosphorus and manganese inhibit iron uptake! 

During the graduation assignment of Arno van den Bogert and Tim Weijs we looked at how far the nitrogen can be reduced in an Elsanta strawberry cultivation.
