At the start of this month, our factory finished producing a vegetable nursery seeder machine and successfully sent it to Qatar. The customer’s farm is dedicated to growing vegetables in a desert setting, featuring 20 hectares of state-of-the-art greenhouses, and specializes in high-demand crops like carrots and tomatoes.
Background to growing the crop
- Climate extremes: summer surface temperatures surpass 50°C, leading to a germination rate of less than 40% for carrot seeds from traditional open-air nurseries.
- Water scarcity: Qatar experiences an average annual precipitation of under 80 millimeters, which makes irrigating seedlings expensive.
- Saline soil: the sandy soil has a high salt content, making direct sowing likely to damage seedlings’ roots.
- Supply chain needs: Qatar depends on imports for 90% of its vegetables, and local companies must enhance their production capacity to meet local demands.
Customer needs and expectations
- Carrot seeds need a consistent temperature of 25-28℃ and 60% humidity, which is difficult to achieve in traditional greenhouses.
- The goal is to implement automatic temperature and humidity control using a seedling nursery machine, aiming to boost the germination rate to over 90%.
- Additionally, a closed-water circulation system will conserve 70% more water compared to conventional seedling nurseries.
- The use of stage lighting and nutrient solution injection through the nursery machine will also improve the survival rate of seedlings after transplanting.
- With this nursery machine, the growing cycle is reduced from 30 days to just 18 days, allowing for multiple planting batches throughout the year.
Why choose our nursery seeder machine?
- The nursery seeder machines plant carrot seeds with precision and consistency, promoting excellent germination rates and rapid growth in the nursery phase.
- Given Qatar’s arid climate and limited water resources, the machine utilizes water-saving technology to optimize water usage.
- It is built to operate reliably in the high temperatures typical of Qatar.
