Schenkeveld employs an advanced cultivation strategy that is entirely data-based, allowing the traditional 'cultivation steer' to be abandoned. This approach uses Hoogendoorn's IIVO Intelligent Algorithms, which are the starting point for establishing the cultivation strategy by defining crucial parameters using specially developed algorithms. Then the computer takes over, and Schenkeveld closely monitors developments, intervening when really necessary. This approach is increasingly autonomous and allows Schenkeveld to operate at Champions League level in growing their products.
The collaboration between Schenkeveld and Hoogendoorn Growth Management dates back several years, with many of Schenkeveld's locations relying on Hoogendoorn's climate computers for generations. In 2020, Schenkeveld took a pioneering role by placing even greater emphasis on data-driven growing by opting for IIVO. Soon, all Schenkeveld locations will deploy this technology. Schenkeveld enjoys sharing its expertise with fellow growers, with the ultimate aim of promoting the sustainable development of the horticultural sector.
