herbaceous plant grower Piet Buysman , Andijk : “ Retailers more often require Skal and PlanetProof endorse product . ” In his experience , organic growth is not always possible . “ Moreover , it remains to be ensure which brand offers the most environmental amplification . ” He pleads for a consummate and nuanced story about On the room to PlanetProof and Biological to be submit to retailer and consumer .

Buysman Kruiden grows reinvigorated herbs in toilet : parsley , Anethum graveolens , mint , sweet basil , nutmeg , coriander , and chives . The category company from Andijk got its MPS - certificate and Vita Certa , the Triple A recording label of MPS , years ago . Since April 2017 , products of Buysman Kruiden also don the quality fool On the fashion to PlanetProof .

Piet : “ We expend a lot of drive on sustainable production , base on the conviction that this is the only way to keep both the sphere and the environment . You will not find any chemical product at Buysman . To combat pathogen , we only utilize born enemies , such as plagiariser hemipteron and ichneumon WASP . The output procedure is for the most part manually mesh , and for class we have had a estrus ticker that operate on dry land warmth and solar panels . We also employ LED lighting to light the most part of our greenhouses . ”

Buysman is happy with PlanetProof , the raw sustainability standard for the horticulture and agriculture sector . Piet : “ A circumstances of supermarkets , in our case emptor organization Superunie , want to go a stair further and more often harbinger their taste for organic grown product .

Test with biological growingPiet : “ Of course we require to run into the indirect request of our customers , and that is why we started , on trial basis , arise basil organically , the most vulnerable of our herbs , a year ago . But it turns out not to be that easy , without decreasing the quality of the industrial plant . peculiarly the shelf biography of these herb is a lot light than in even culture . especially during the winter the plants go bad much quicker , because they scarcely see any sunshine . To prevent that , we have to supply the right nutrients . all winnow out artificial fertilizer , as the stigma prescribes remains a challenge to us , but which does not deter us at all . We must first verify that the quality we have now , can be maintained , before we quit using unreal fertilizer . Quality will always be number one . ”

Take all measures into accountPlanetProof let the manipulation of stilted fertilizer , if it is necessary and ground on soil and harvest analyses . On the other hand , PlanetProof has high prerequisite where Skal does not , with regard to vitality saving , water quality , pee saving , and thriftlessness direction . Piet : " I see that a fortune of retail merchant and consumers are not aware of the differences between quality labels . Actually , they do not bonk what on the dot they are prefer . Also , it has never been scientifically manifest that the biologic timbre mark is good for the surround than PlanetProof . I do not want to arrogate that one quality mark is better than the other ; both are more than adequate . But it is no more than fair that all measures are taken into story when choosing , and looking at what is feasible for cultivator . To us grower and SMK the project is communicating more intelligibly to retailers , and to retailers the task is communicating more distinctly to the consumer . "
