1. Agritex Energy S.A. operates a large glass greenhouse for tomato production covering 10 hectares with a height of 5.5 meters and dimensions of 500m by 200m.
2. The greenhouse layout is vertically oriented to optimize space and allow direct eye-level access for improved productivity and quality.
3. Tomato production involves fixed times for seedling production, variable but specified times from flowering to harvesting, and minimal times from harvesting to shipping through efficient logistics. Precise climate, irrigation, and nutrient controls further optimize yields.

6. 1. Time Needed time for seedling production Depending on: Season of wanted cultivar Variety of tomato S pecifications For Agritex= 28 days
7. 2. Time needed from flowering till harvesting Flowering and setting Impact of the energy from “ Degree Days” Cluster ready to harvest 42-77 days Flowering and setting Harvesting truss 2,5 m
8. Time needed from flowering till harvesting (continued) Flowering and fruit setting Gradual color change 1 10 1 2 3 4 5
9. Convenience - perfect working height - Direct eye contact Perfect results increased productivity with higher quality 3. Time needed from harvesting till shipping
12. Tomato fruit production time Χ= α ( min, max) + β(min,max) + γ (min,max) α = nursery time (24-30 days) β = from flowering –fruit setting to cluster ripening (42-77 days ) γ = harvesting-packing- transportation - palletizing (0,5-3 hours ) Χ minimum = 66 days + 0,5 hours Χ maximum = 107 days + 3 hours
13. Climate + Irrigation Control = Max. income Irrigation Control + Fertilization Control = Maximum water & nutrients availability and efficiency via hydroponics method Climate Control + Nutrients Control = up to 4 times more production with high quality tomato fruits
14. Supporting procedures for tomato production Works on plants Clipping - plants supporting Thieving -side shoots elimination Pruning - flower elimination Deleafing - leaves removal
