Climate Control
The Facility has computer controlled environments consisting
of several zones. This system provides for greater flexibility
under varying light and weather conditions. The multiple roof vents
in our structures allow for greater and more efficient venting when
required. This venting capacity is especially well suited for hardening
plants. As such, our facility is well equipped to
reduce DSV and minimize the risk of plant pathogens, regardless of
weather conditions. In addition, the use of multiple zones using
separation curtains, also provides a second tier of plant isolation
and accomodates climate requirements for each specific crop.
Equipment
Oasis is equipped with a complete seeding line including a
Blackmore cylinder seeder. We are capable of seeding raw or coated
seed. Tray cell sizes include 18, 36, 50, 72, 128, 200, 288 & 338.
Watering booms have individual fertilizer injector units to
provide optimum nutritional requirements for individual seed lots.
The germination chambers are equipped with in floor heating and
precision climate control. Our plant handling system consist of
galvanized steel racks.
Records
To assure that all target shipping dates meet our customers
requirements, the ongoing monitoring and charting of crop performance
gives us a more accurate account of growth progress. Extensive
seeding records as well as plant growth charts, watering charts,
production & pesticide records are kept. Production records are
available to our customers for viewing at any time.
Service
Oasis is open from 8am to 6pm during the plug plant season.
We strongly recommend calling to schedule a pick up time to ensure
that the plants are properly prepared for shipping. Advance calling
gives us the opportunity to pre load plants in our yard
trailers for quicker turn around times on customer arrivals to
our facility.
For long distance clients (Canadian & International) we
offer a carting system for transports or cube vans. Our galvanized
steel racks hold 16 trays, once loaded on these carts a transport
load can hold up to 2496 trays.
In addition to plant counting and frequent plant inspections,
our twenty inch "50 cm" walkways provide quick and easy access for
plant lot monitoring and plant counting. This is also convenient for
our customers.
