In horticulture, fertilization is a crucial part of the growth of the crop. Every crop has different needs and therefore a different fertilization strategy. That is why Royal Brinkman offers a wide range of fertilizers for professional greenhouse horticulture. Whether it concerns solid fertilizers, single or NPK, or liquid fertilizers in various types. Our specialists will be happy to advise you on the right fertilizer recipe. Each fertilizer recipe contains the main elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and Sulphur. In addition to the main elements, trace elements are often added to the fertilizer recipe.

We are regularly startled in our professional industry by (new) viruses, diseases and pests. Preventing bacteria, fungi and viruses within your professional business is better & easier than curing them, highlighting the importance of hygiene. 

We want to help our customers in the continuous process of hygiene development or from the start of new construction projects to analyze the risks in the field of hygiene. 

When hygiene is incorporated into the culture of the company from the start, it makes the employees aware of its importance. This mindset among employees will ensure that clean and hygienic work becomes the norm.
