Like the Montes del Plata Nursery, this new facility employs advanced technology to automatically monitor watering and environmental temperature and recovers used water to increase resource utilization efficiency.
The areas of the new space include a cloning garden, vegetation house, greenhouses for shade and growth, an adaptation area, a grafting and pollination section as well as a laboratory and monitoring room. The greenhouse structure is made of galvanized steel and is covered by polyethylene to protect the seedlings the elements.
Ergonomics were emphasized in the design with the incorporation of rolling tables, a technology previously employed at Montes del Plata, to decrease the physical effort required in an effort to ensure the good health of employees.
Montes del Plata also announced improvements to its nursery to enable a significant increase in seedling production volume and stockpiling capacity.
