Kyrgyzstan is located in the hinterland of Eurasia. Many cross-border rivers originate in Kyrgyzstan. It is known as the "Central Asian Water Tower". About 65% of the country's population lives in rural areas, with abundant water resources and a large number of rural laborers. It was originally the basis for the country to vigorously develop the agricultural planting industry, but in fact, the development of Kyrgyzstan’s planting industry is slow. There are two most important reasons:

① Although Kyrgyzstan is rich in water resources, due to the imperfect irrigation system, the utilization rate of agricultural water is very low.

② Kyrgyzstan is mountainous, with an average altitude of 2750 meters, 90% of the territory is above 1500 meters above sea level, and the land available for planting is insufficient.

The low utilization rate of agricultural water and the mountainous natural environment have caused the development of Kyrgyzstan's planting industry to be inherently limited. Therefore, it is the only way for the development of Kyrgyzstan's planting industry to turn to the development of modern facility agriculture that is not or rarely restricted by natural conditions.

(Natural Landscape of Kyrgyzstan)

(Facilized agriculture refers to the use of new production equipment, modern agricultural engineering technology, and management technology to control the temperature, light, water, soil, air, fertilizer and other environmental parameters of the growth of vegetables, fruit trees, flowers and other plants in protective facilities such as greenhouses and plastic greenhouses. It is a modern agricultural production method that improves the growth and development environment of plants as a whole or locally, so that plant growth is not or rarely restricted by natural conditions.)

In recent years, Kyrgyzstan has encouraged vegetable growers to develop modern facility agriculture and given preferential policies to attract foreign capital to introduce modern smart agricultural greenhouses locally. A Kyrgyzstan local investment company, purchased More than 100,000 pieces of rockwool cubes have turned the greenhouse into a well-known local "cucumber factory".

(Using UPuper® rockwool planting)

Cucumber plants growing vigorously in modern greenhouses take root on the rockwool substrate of UPuper® to absorb nutrient solution and obtain water and nutrients from it. The fresh tender cucumbers with thorns on the top will enrich the table of local people, and also provide local modern Agricultural development plays a leading role.

The automatic irrigation system in the greenhouse improves the utilization rate of agricultural water resources. The super regional adaptability of modern greenhouses is not affected by the local mountainous natural environment, which promotes the vigorous development of Kyrgyzstan's planting industry with the assistance of modern agricultural technology.

There are many types of substrates on the market, why does customer choose UPuper® rockwool substrate as the grow media for the smart glass greenhouse?

1: Natural materials, clean and safe

Kyrgyzstan has a low level of agricultural technology, and its ability to fight against the risks of agricultural diseases and insect pests is weak. The substrate of UPuper® rockwool is an inorganic matrix, which is made from natural basalt and melted at a high temperature of 1500°. It does not contain any pathogenic bacteria, harmful microorganisms, insect eggs and heavy metals. , which is a clean and safe substrate, which greatly reduces the risk of pests and diseases during the planting process.

2: Save water and fertilizer, environment friendly

In recent years, Kyrgyzstan's air pollution and ecological environment improvement pressures have become increasingly prominent. The local government hopes to introduce environmentally friendly planting substrates. UPuper® rockwool hydroponic is a clean substrate, and the return liquid is clear and free of impurities. It is used in conjunction with drip irrigation and water and fertilizer recycling systems. , can not only realize 100% recycling of water and fertilizer, but also avoid environmental pollution caused by random discharge of water and fertilizer.

3: Precise planting, optimization strategy

The development of modern facility agriculture in Kyrgyzstan is still in its infancy, and continuous data accumulation and analysis are required to optimize the planting strategy in line with the local environment. UPuper® rockwool grow medium itself does not contain any nutrients, and does not consume water, fertilizer and nutrients. What you give is what you get, which can realize precise control of plant root growth, and can also assist local growers to dynamically optimize planting strategies through accurate data accumulation and analysis of backwater.
