Micothon - Spraying Technology for Greenhouse Horticulture
In the field of spraying technology for greenhouse horticulture, Micothon has developed a wide range of different spraying systems, suitable for almost every crop and situation. Characteristic of Micothon is that we adapt all our spraying systems per grower based on the specific business situation and wishes.
Micothon - Insect Control System Utilizing Air Technology
Micothon BV is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture with its Mico Air technology. Mico Air represents a significant advancement in crop protection, enabling the efficient removal of flying insects using air technology, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides. This system is particularly effective in the horticulture industry, such as in the cultivation of young plants and greenhouses, where maintaining a pest-free environment is crucial. By utilizing powerful suction mechanisms, the Mico Air can extract insects from both small and larger plants, ensuring comprehensive coverage. This technology offers an automated, pesticide-free solution that minimizes environmental impact and maximizes productivity. Collaborations with partners like Koppert Cress and De Vette Engineering have further refined its application in specific crops, highlighting its role in modern, sustainable farming practices.
Micothon - UVC Crop Protection System
Micothon specializes in developing and producing innovative solutions for controlling and eliminating mold on growing plants in greenhouses. Their Mico Light line employs ultraviolet C (UVC) technology, a chemical-free method normally found in natural sunlight, specifically at the UVC wavelength known to effectively kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This property has been extensively used in food and medical sectors for sanitation purposes. Micothon's UVC systems are applicable in various horticultural settings, aligning with their Greenhouse IPM 2.0 strategy. UVC technologies eschew chemical usage, promoting an environmentally sustainable approach to horticulture. The Mico Light IRIS, one of their newest offerings, is tailored for greenhouses without pipe rails using a laser-guided system for precise operation. Various Mico Light applications target mildew control on crops like strawberries and roses, adapting for use on sports fields and within other greenhouse environments.
Micothon - Mico Spray for Conventional Spraying
In many crops and for many conditions, full-field spraying is an effective solution. Micothon offers 3 proven effective spraying systems: The Amur, Flamingo, and Narva. These can be operated manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically. Worldwide, more than 200 growers use these reliable spray machines.
Micothon - Mico Spray for Air-assisted Spraying
Micothon is the inventor of air-assisted spraying in greenhouses. This technique results in much better penetration, coverage, and effectiveness. Practical tests demonstrate the ecological and economic benefits of air-assisted spraying. The results with the first 20 air-assisted Micothon M2 spray machines, compared to traditional spraying systems, show significant advantages.
Micothon - Mico Spray for Spot-specific Spraying
In greenhouse horticulture, it often happens that plagues occur in spots. For this, Micothon has developed a technique based on a spreadsheet schedule that allows you to indicate where spraying should and should not be done. By scouting, you determine where the conditions are located, and that information is processed in the spreadsheet that controls the Micothon spray machine.
