Growing on gutters
Efficient water use is becoming increasingly important for growers in Morocco. Growing on gutters offers a practical way to improve water management, reduce risks in the crop and enable recirculation of drain water.
From traditional growing to more control
Around 50 years ago, growers in the Netherlands made the transition from traditional soil-based growing to more controlled cultivation.
In this development, Metazet played a key role in the early development of growing on gutters, enabling better control of water and crop conditions.
Over the years, Metazet has developed a wide range of gutter systems, known as FormFlex®, for different crops and growing conditions, based on practical experience and in close cooperation with growers.
Why Growing on Gutters
Growing on gutters improves cultivation in a proven and practical way.
It helps growers to:
Control water and nutrients more precisely.
FormModex Gutter System
FormModex is a modular cultivation gutter system developed to support growers in improving water management and enabling recirculation, with a practical and cost-efficient approach.
It supports growers in the transition from traditional soil-based growing to more controlled cultivation.
The system combines a modular steel support structure with a seamless plastic top layer. The plastic layer is applied in one continuous piece, creating a smooth surface without joints. This reduces the risk of leakage and makes the system easy to clean and durable.
FormModex is designed for practical use in daily operations:
The system can be placed directly on the ground, following the natural slope, or installed with additional supports when a different slope is required.
This makes FormModex a flexible and practical solution for growers who want to improve water use and gain more control over their crop.
Water and crop control
Water availability and crop health are key challenges in Moroccan horticulture.
FormModex helps growers to use water more efficiently, reduce losses and improve control over irrigation and crop conditions. Cleaner growing conditions also help to reduce the risk of diseases.
In cooperation with Nexus Flow
Together with Nexus Flow, Metazet supports growers in Morocco with practical cultivation systems adapted to local conditions.
Nexus Flow combines local presence with international greenhouse knowledge, ensuring solutions that fit both the market and the grower.
