Start fair , stay clean . This is in a nutshell the strengthened Greencare insurance from Dümmen Orange . The necessity is give by the increase disease pressure and globalization . Frank Wagenaar : “ You take your duty , for the production group rise , for the Netherlands ltd . Everything for clean and levelheaded rosaceous cuttings . ”“Has there been any direct grounds for our Greencare insurance policy ? We ca n’t stave off the summertime of 2016 . ” Frank Wagenaar , Head of Production the Netherlands , echo the Ralstonia outbreak on the roseate location . “ We had just started the take - over process . This location of Olij Rozen would be incorporated into Dümmen Orange . And then this happens … But it has also been the instant to organise the piece of work procedures in a way that there would be no chance on a next irruption . ” They took rigorous measuring .
Ten weeksTo make certain that ‘ what is clean stay clean ’ Wagenaar and his team mapped how potential bacterium would spread : via the planting cloth itself , via water supply , clothing and workings cock . Next they took far reaching measures to control the phytosanitary risk of infection from breed to production . Wagenaar : “ As a breeder and producer you start of course with your planting textile . We work as much as potential in a closed arrangement , with as few plants from outdoors as potential . The planting stuff that comes from outside goes for ten hebdomad in quarantine . They ’re must be no physical contact under any circumstances with plant already present . Only when our trial prove three time negative for diseases and pestilence we give up these plants in our rose pool . Yes , the cycles/second takes two and a half months longer . But times have been changed influenced by globalisation and disease pressure . You take your responsibility . ”
Four tests alternatively of twoWagenaar : “ The water is checked and double checked too . From the environmental point of view we reprocess as much water as potential . This means that we have to disinfect very carefully . We do this among others with UV lamp . But this is not all . so as to enter in the Naktuinbouw rose puddle , we are obliged to let Naktuinbouw check our piddle twice a year . We have this done , voluntarily , four times a yr . We desire our policy and have it away that any possible unusual person will be find in the water system samples right away . If anything is mark we need to know as soon as possible . ”
No more own scissorsThe third source , clothing and tools , has the expectant influence on employees . Every section - breeding , propagation , output and showcase - has now its own working wearable in discern semblance . The clothing is being collected doubly a week by a laundry overhaul . Formerly everybody had their own pair of scissors , now every path has a pair of scissors that only should be used there . Joop Mohlmann , Location Manager ( de Kwakel ): “ This intend quite something ! A : it takes more time and B : nobody has their own scissor hold or glove . And we used to opine it was significant that you had your own scissors . ” Employees of multiply in blue pullovers can no longer inscribe the ‘ black ’ extension greenhouse . In some cases this means a detour . Mohlmann : “ You have to get used to it , but we note a lot of understanding . Everybody sympathize that this is the young reality . And everybody thinks it ’s horrible if anything would go wrong . check that the peak you have develop with so much care are being destroyed …… . Ugh . ”
Large superior general interestIn the fall of 2017 the Netherlands Plant Protection Service declared the location light . Wagenaar : “ But we took consciously more clock time to standardize the process . We already had organized religion in the cutting we delivered . We literally test each and every plant life . But now , three yr after the take - over of this location , we also trust the process . This has a large general interest . Wagenaar underlines that they do it for “ the node , the product chemical group come up , the Netherlands ltd , and yes , the macrocosm … . Our cuttings are exported over the whole world . With trust . And : “ In vegetable and fruit this strict policy has been vulgar for year . In that lawsuit it occupy food . For blush wine this is still singular . We consider that this will be the standard . Greencare in a nutshellGreencare is the phytosanitary policy of Dümmen Orange to deliver healthy and clear starting cloth to growers worldwide .
