Over the last years the cultivation of hemp has experienced a real boom. This is a plant with many qualities, as well as different benefits and uses. Contrary to common belief, the main use of hemp consists in manufacturing materials that can replace the plastic ones and be biodegradable at the same time. It matches perfectly the issue of environmental protection, which is quickly spreading in the whole world. Hemp is also used to produce bio-fuels, replacing oil. Other interesting applications can be found in the production of paper or specific fabrics for clothing and furniture. Not to mention the hemp oil, which is getting more and more popular and that, according to recent studies, has several properties for both medical and recreational use.
The hemp plant has a tall and thin stem andcan reach a height of four metres. One of its main characteristics is that it can be grown both for its seeds (for the production of hemp oil) and for is textile fibre (in this case the harvest takes place immediately after the flowering). Furthermore, this is a particularly productive plant: it grows extremely rapidly, ensuring in this way not only a bigger income for the farmers who cultivate it, but also a constant destruction of weeds without using weed killers. Also from this point of view, hemp can be considered as a crucially important plant in the fight against the use of polluting chemicals.
Hemp is more and more often cultivated in modules and then transplanted. The transplanting procedure allows to make the most of the plant’s productivity thanks to an efficient control during the most delicate phases of its growth. However, the transplanting must be carried out in an effective and accurate way in order to avoid a premature death of the plant: that’s what the line of hemp transplanter of Ferrari Growtech has been projected for. We’re talking about innovative machines, both automatic and semi-automatic, that allow to check the transplanting phase carefully and ensure immediately the maximum yield of the plant.
Among the automatic transplanting machines for hemp of Ferrari Growtech, we can find the models FUTURA and FUTURA TWIN: in this case just the distance between the hemp plants has to be set. One single operator will place the trays into the machine that carries out the transplanting automatically, thus optimizing the efficiency of this working phase. The semi-automatic range includes the models FMAX, FPA EVO and FLASH. With these machines more labour is involved, without affecting the quality of the work done.
The transplanting machines for hemp by Ferrari Growtech is perfectly adaptable to any type of soil, resulting in being the ideal solution for a wide variety of plants, from the smaller ones to those of bigger dimension.
