Combimetal Carrera, renowned for pioneering soilless agriculture solutions, has expanded its innovative offerings beyond strawberries to include a new generation of cultivation systems tailored for vegetables and aromatic herbs. These systems, elevated from the ground at a uniform height, mark a significant leap in agricultural technology aimed at enhancing productivity and sustainability.
Stefano Tabasso, a prominent producer from Piedmont, recently adopted Combimetal Carrera’s soilless system for his diverse range of crops, which includes salad, basil, arugula, parsley, and other leafy vegetables. His decision to invest in a one-hectare professional setup underscores the advantages of soilless cultivation, such as optimized space utilization and increased yield per square meter. Tabasso highlights the system’s capability to streamline production cycles and conserve water, particularly beneficial for regions lacking easy access to irrigation sources. Moreover, the ergonomic benefits—improved posture during planting and harvesting—add to the system’s appeal among growers.
Rocco Carrera, the production technician at Combimetal Carrera, emphasizes the company’s commitment to advancing agricultural practices. The new vegetable system features dual eaves set 15-20cm apart, tailored to accommodate various crops effectively. Reinforced with anti-wear sheets and designed for durability against weather elements and agricultural products, these systems ensure stable and accessible production environments year-round. The strategic installation of rods and bases minimizes ground contact, facilitating efficient drainage and preventing water stagnation—a critical feature for maintaining optimal crop health.
“Our systems not only enhance productivity and operational efficiency but also contribute to cleaner, drier production environments,” says Carrera. “We are proud to be at the forefront of agricultural innovation in Italy, providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern growers.”
