A few weeks ago, Gartenbau Vogel started growing paprika! In a new 1.5 ha Venlo greenhouse in Papenburg Germany, developed and built by Bosman Van Zaal GmbH. The glass greenhouse was specially designed for this cultivation, based on the wishes and requirements of owner Patrick Vogel. He was supported in this by horticultural specialist Thomas Bauer of the German Bosman Van Zaal GmbH branch in Geldern.
Paprika cultivation
The cultivation of paprika is new for this German nursery, which has been in existence for almost 60 years and is currently run by the third generation. Gartenbau Vogel is mainly known for the production of garden herbs and ornamental plants. The decision to now also add the cultivation of paprika is based on the demand from the regional market.
Venlo greenhouse and climate installations
Vogel has opted for a glass Venlo greenhouse with a roof width of 8 metres, which offers space for 6 rows of paprika. The greenhouse is equipped with all relevant installations for growing paprika. The heating, CO2 installation and screen system were also supplied and installed by Bosman Van Zaal, and the additional installations were integrated into the greenhouse in collaboration with other horticultural specialists.
