New large-scale high-tech greenhouse project in Japan
Source: HD.com
The greenhouse has been designed with 9.60-metre spans, a gutter height of 5.40 metres and a ridge height of 8 metres, creating a substantial internal air volume and a spacious working environment for high-wire crops. Its Gothic configuration and a 29-degree springing angle provide a steeper roof slope, helping condensation drain towards the perimeter rather than accumulate above the crop.
Huete's technical documentation, this design also creates approximately 12% more internal volume than conventional arch geometries. Designed for high-wire cultivation The greenhouse structure has also been prepared to integrate a high-wire crop support system at a height of 4.20 metres or above.
The project incorporates reinforced column heads connecting posts, arches and gutters; strengthened posts at key structural positions; longitudinal and transverse reinforcements; and gutters designed to function both as rainwater drainage channels and as structural elements.

Why this matters: For operators, this is a water-management story. The useful signal is that direct substrate measurements can help cut drain loss materially without giving up yield or fruit quality, which is exactly the kind of controllable efficiency gain a facility can build on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does substrate sensing matter in free-drain strawberry systems?
Because drain percentage tells a grower what already happened, while substrate moisture and EC data show root-zone conditions directly. That makes it easier to cut water loss without guessing.
What is the operator takeaway from this trial?
If the thresholds are understood well enough, growers can reduce drain water materially while protecting yield and fruit quality, which makes sensing an operational tool instead of a reporting tool.
