On April 1st, 2022, Novedades Agricolas y IMIDA visited the AgremSoil project´s replication and prototype activities farm, provided by the agricultural company FRUCA. Following the meeting held on March 15th, after having visited one farm located in the municipality of Blanca (Murcia) to determine the most appropriate characteristics of the plot, it was decided to select this one, located in Fuente Álamo (Murcia).

The farm is dedicated to the horticultural crop rotations in the open air: various types of lettuce, melon, brassicas such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. Both, Novedades Agrícolas (NOVAGRIC) and IMIDA, hereby express their gratitude to FRUCA for the given opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of the AGREMSOIL system in an open-air plot of approximately 3,000 m2. The installation of the equipment is scheduled for the second half of June in order to carry out the treatment in July.
