Demo greenhouse
Our new showpiece at Van der Avoird Trayplant: a demo greenhouse where we are developing a concept in which fruit can be grown all year round.
Research & Development
New techniques are optimised on an ongoing basis.
This is R&D
Looking for answers together
Our R&D department searches for innovations every day. When we find a new innovation, we always keep the interests of our employees, customers and the environment in mind. We therefore believe that these values can only reinforce each other.
Research
At Van der Avoird Trayplant, time never stands still. We keep looking for answers to questions we are constantly asking ourselves.
Trials
Properly analysing trials and understanding what is happening, that is what we do every day.
Demo field
On our demonstration field, we show how Paulownia trees grow and perform under local conditions. The field serves as a practical example of sustainable wood, fibre and pole production.
Knowledge database
Years of research are the basis
The R&D team searches daily for the answers behind the question. Together, they ensure that we can continue to supply the best plants and ultimately come up with great innovations.
Obtained data from the past and the future are linked to new innovations.
Paulownia Varieties
Our Paulownia plants are grown in a different way.
'We make a robust Paulownia plant (Kiri-Trayplant) which we raise, harden off and store in a renewed and innovative way! We use organic fertilizers, beneficial fungi and biostimulants. All this ensures a quick start and vigor when transplanting!
Every day we create added value for people, the world and profitability.
Sustainable
We are working on tomorrow's food, but we are keeping a close eye on the future of our planet.
We like to take sustainable steps based on our common sense.
This means that we don't just look at the economic possibilities, but always ask ourselves, “Is it truly sustainable and does it contribute to the bigger picture in the long term?”. For us, balance between people, the world and returns is essential in this regard.
