Well Pict Scotland - Scottish producer, packer and distributor of fresh strawberry and raspberry
 
Agronomy, Research and Development
 

With any new projects a large part of the success comes from getting the basics right, 2006 for us has been just that, the basics. Relaying on our in house expertise and experiences in getting us this far however, this is not the norm for Well Pict Scotland nor of the people that work here. In order to remain competitive we must look beyond the boundaries to areas yet uncharted.

Our growing systems are set up in order:
-to deliver the right quality and with a low cost of production
-to deliver efficient harvesting activities
-big focus on: flavour, shelf-life, appearance through irrigation and nutrition
-bespoke pesticide and disease management system, whilst protecting the environment and the wild life.

2007 will be another exciting year with a further 36 acres of production planned, in unison with plant science inc we will be planting 15 acres of a variety in which we believe will revolutionise our cropping profile, three different sites and growing systems though-out Scotland have been chosen kg per ha, picking speeds, class 1 percentage and set up costs will be evaluated for each of the three senarios – please watch this space though-out 2007 for updates.

Please take a look at some of the past papers below to look at some of the finding from Well Pict European Scotland and their people below.
