At Heemskerk, we aim for beautiful and healthy crops. Since the early 2000s, we have been seeking methods to restore the natural fertility of the soil and crops without using artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
We now cultivate in an inclusive manner, using the biology of nature to enhance the resilience of the soil and plants. A healthy soil ensures a healthy crop. Nevertheless, we always test for the presence of nematodes and specific weeds before using a field.
- Reliable Ordering and Supply: Consistent availability and dependability.
- Faster Growth: Enhanced energy leads to quicker growth.
- Larger Assortment: A wider variety of options to choose from.
- Efficient Storage and Distribution: Easier to store and transport.
- Nematode and Virus Sensitivity: Greater susceptibility to nematodes and viruses.
Quality Guarantees
We invest annually in virus research and clean tissue culture material. Heemskerk is a participant in Naktuinbouw Select Plant Hosta. Naktuinbouw Select Plant is a system for batches of plant material of extra quality. Naktuinbouw conducts additional inspections, sampling, and testing for disease-free Hosta crops. Naktuinbouw performs its task on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality (LNV) and operates impartially and independently. Besides participating in this program, we conduct our own inspections and tests to further ensure the quality of our plants.
