Greenhouse blueberry cultivation in Mexico using AZUD technology

Greenhouse blueberry cultivation in Mexico using AZUD technology

GN Berries

GN Berries, a leading Mexican producer of berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, operates using a protected agriculture model and sustainable practices. With production areas located in the Baja California Coast Region and in Tepic, Nayarit State, GN Berries combines technological innovation with organic and conventional crop management.

To implement an innovative project that would ensure the best agronomic practices, GN Berries had the support of Agritek, a specialized installer, and AZUD’s advanced technology.


Location: Mexico
Farming: Blueberry

The Challenge

GN Berries faced a critical challenge: ensuring the agronomic success of its greenhouse blueberry crops. The previous system had serious shortcomings:

  • Inadequate filtration systems that caused constant disruptions.
  • Poor uniformity in the distribution of water and nutrients, affecting crop growth.
  • Premature wear and tear on irrigation lines and irrigation heads / head units, leading to higher operating costs.

These limitations compromised the quality of production. GN Berries needed a comprehensive and reliable solution that could adapt to the unique conditions of its growing areas.

The Solution

With the support of Agritek As AZUD’s installer and technical support provider, we designed and implemented a customized solution that addressed GN Berries’ specific challenges.

The project included:

  • Replacement of defective systems: The irrigation lines and sand filtration systems, which were causing most of the problems, were removed.
  • Installation of the AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC 300 DLP: An advanced filtration technology that ensures automatic and efficient cleaning, improving water quality and protecting the Irrigation system.

This solution enabled GN Berries to make the most of the water from desalination plants—which is essential for its crops in coastal areas—and to significantly improve the agronomic conditions in its greenhouses.

Benefits of the Solution

The Implementation of Filtration Systems HELIX AUTOMATIC WEIR It transformed GN Berries’ operations, far exceeding initial expectations.

Among the benefits achieved, the following stand out:

  • Improved irrigation quality: Efficiently filtered water extended the irrigation system’s service life and ensured uniform distribution, promoting healthy crop growth.
  • Resource savings: A significant reduction in water and energy consumption was achieved, in line with the producer’s sustainability goals.
  • Continuous and reliable operation: Thanks to the automatic cleaning system, the equipment has operated efficiently for more than eight months without manual maintenance, reducing operating costs.
  • Ongoing technical support: AZUD’s support restored GN Berries’ confidence in technological solutions, providing peace of mind and consistent results.
