Anyone who knows Ron Peters knows that he has been campaigning for hygiene in horticulture for years
The owner of the trial greenhouse in Klazienaveen
was introduced to a new product a few years ago: Fersol
Several growers have since imitated him in this
he likes to make even more growers familiar with it
New to horticulture"I was pretty much in shock at the first introduction about how powerful it was and how little of the product you need for quite bizarre results." Fersol is an award-winning product with which much more experience has been gained in other sectors
people are already well acquainted with the oxidizing product
we don't use it for disinfecting water but for cleaning greenhouses," Ron points out
"This is a completely different application policy." He stresses the importance of carefully following the instructions on the label
ToBRFV research trial greenhouse by Ron Peters
Three years of experienceRon also advises on the use of the contact agent for greenhouse cleaning himself
He can boast of three years of experience so far
"I have been using it to clean my greenhouses for three years
Ron has the authorization to carry out trials at his greenhouse in Klazienaveen for viruses
which other growers precisely hope not to get
He also uses the product to clean these greenhouses
Swab tests showed time and again that the greenhouse was virus-free after cleaning
Contact effectImportant for good use of the remedy is contact action as well as following the instructions for use
as is actually the case when using any pesticide
cleaning your pump and pipes well after use
employees working with the pesticide wearing protective clothing and cleaning machines and equipment well immediately after cleaning."
Growers can apply the pesticide between two cucumber crops at a short rotation or during a longer rotation at the end of the year

admitted he killed Przemyslaw "Sam" Czerniawski
was distraught when he confessed to murders during a livestream on Facebook moments after the violence happened
It was the result of a year-long conflict between K
and the couple over the state of the property K
The Drenthe village is part of the municipality of Weiteveen
and the property included his parents' home
K. is believed to have killed the Polish man at the home, and then chased the man's Dutch wife after she tried to flee. She crashed a car into a tree, then K. allegedly shot her at close range. The violence on January 16 was witnessed by one of their children
Prosecutors called the murders pre-meditated
Sources close to the investigation told Dagblad van het Noorden that the police already considered the possibility K
They questioned whether he should keep his firearms license when the argument between K
Mussche's father contacted police in Klazienaveen by letter about the situation on several occasions
The newspaper pointed out that the woman had already told a friend in October that K
the Public Prosecution Service said K.'s assault was a "complete surprise to the police
and other authorities involved." A spokesperson told the newspaper
We want to emphasize that it came as a huge shock to everyone that things got so out of hand
However, one Weiteveen resident previously told the Telegraaf a different story
Additionally, Czerniawski's brother also told Dagblad van het Noord that the couple wanted to move out
"There was always trouble with a 'crazy neighbor.' He and his wife were already looking for another home
The neighborhood was becoming a less and less pleasant place to live
brought many weapons with him when he carried out the attack
Prosecutors have not commented on whether K
and which weapons were actually used to commit the brutal murders
Several firearms and a knife were found at the body of the Polish victim
The case will next be reviewed in court on January 31
when it will be determined whether to extend K.'s pre-trial detention
The first public hearing will be held on April 17
when more information about the case and the status of the investigation will be released

Gardener’s Pride has added a cucumber crop to their tomato cultivation
3.7 hectares of cucumbers grow on high-wire in the Dutch town of Klazienaveen
Unlike most twines being used in cucumber crops
but made out of a biological and compostable material.
Marco van Overbeek (Gardener’s Pride) and Joris van Calcar (Lankhorst Yarns) in the greenhouse where Gardener’s Pride has started growing cucumbers this year as requested by Albert Heijn
that's what Marco wants and what he's working for
a 2 hectare greenhouse is even dedicated to test all sorts of sustainable novelties and solutions
These include organic substrate and limiting the use of chemicals used in the crop.
Also the use of biological and compostable horticultural twine fits in this vision
Ever since 2016 the Elite Horti Twine has been used in a 5 hectare tomato crop
Also the newly installed cucumber cultivation (3.7 hectares) is equipped with it.
Length of the twineIn the Gardener’s Pride cucumber greenhouse
the Elite Bio Twine is being used on hooks of 26 centimeters each
30 meters is used for the entire cultivation
the twine has a length of 1000 meters per kilo
Joris van Calcar with Lankhorst Yarns explains: “At its core
bio twine is not as strong as the more accessible plastic horticultural yarn
The team with Lankhorst Yarns is currently working on creating a thinner twine
it is important to know what the maximum weight of the crops can be
That is why it is wise to choose a slightly thicker type of twine for the first year of using it and then decrease the thickness the next year and so on and so on
Organic waste rateFrom a sustainability point of view
the choice to go for Elite Bio Twine is a logical next step
but still not a step all growers are willing to take
And even at Gardener’s Pride another 22 hectares hasn't been equipped with the compostable twines
An important reason for this is the fact that waste processors are being ‘difficult’ when it comes to the rates for crop waste
“The insecurity regarding the waste rates currently pump the breaks on sustainability"
He explains how the waste rates for waste containing plastics are way higher than the rates for organic waste
“This year I get the organic rate from a waste processor in the area
That uncertainty is what causes some growers to not choose for this
Only when the organic rate is guaranteed will Elite Bio Twine become financially interesting for the growers as well."
Joris van Calcar of Lankhorst Yarns explains to us that: “Although scientific research conducted by Wageningen University & Research (WUR) shows that 99% of the Elite Bio Twine turns to microfibers after 6 to 8 weeks of composting
many waste processors still calculate the same high rates for it as they do for crop waste that contains plastic."
"They do this even though additional research conducted by WUR shows that the remaining microfiber waste is not harmful to the soil and the organisms that are living in it
The significantly lower rates used for organic waste should also be used for the crop waste consisting of Elite Bio Twine
which is made from PLA (a vegetable sugar found in the starch from corn plants).”
The rates for plastic waste are increasing more and more
Joris expects that it is due to this that the need for using Elite Bio Twine will increase
Convincing with the composting resultsTo the chagrin of growers like Marco and others
the Dutch waste processors are not that easily convinced
they seem to come up with stricter demands and rules every year.
there's also some understanding by both Joris and Marco
“Many suppliers have some sort of ‘Biotwine’ in their product range now
but not all of these twines are completely compostable
processors are becoming even more reluctant to change the rates
This will need to be paired with some well thought out composting results
10% of all the compost still ends up getting burned
because it is too polluted with plastic due to the use of accessible plastic horticultural yarn among other things.”
Reducing plastic use is part of the total sustainable conceptPlastic is being banned more and more
yet when discussing the reducing of plastic
the focus mainly lies with the packaging and not with the cultivation
Joris: “The consumer doesn’t see this reduction of plastic in cultivation
That is why it is important to let this be known to the consumer as well.”
“This is why we try to show some things about cultivation on social media on a regular basis
The fact that we use Elite Bio Twine will also show on there
Though it might be ‘just a piece of twine’
when you can show how much plastic has been saved at the end of the year it is definitely worth it
Even for the retailers who sell your products.”

and she could feel his erection against her while he massaged her
The physiotherapist from Drenthe was arrested in November 2021
and the man has been deregistered from the BIG register of healthcare providers
said that everything he did was in the interest of the women’s health
He acknowledged that some of his treatments were “unusual,” but he denied accusations that he crossed a line
“Sometimes you have to do things just a little differently to get results,” he said
“These treatments were aimed at optimizing muscle mass in order to achieve top performance.”
claimed he always discussed treatments with his clients and called it crazy that the women said he “caught them off guard.” He was “surprised” about the 16 reports against him
“There are 2,300 that I haven’t heard from
They are satisfied.” He repeatedly said that he got permission from the women for the treatment
the court set two days aside for Z.’s trial
The OM will recommend sentencing on Tuesday
Several other women reported incidents to the police but did not want to press charges
The man will not be prosecuted in those cases

The victims were identified by the Public Prosecution Service as a 38-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman who were living at the scene of the violence

and suggested he would surrender when authorities arrived
Another video shot by passengers of a car showed K

speaks to a group of five police officers while handcuffed on a snowy road
three of them take off running from the location of the car crash
the people who bought a home from Richard have made our life difficult
and they provoked us to the core." She continued
but she pleaded with him not to try to get even with them
And the Pole probably threatened him with a gun or something
"And then I hear at work that Richard went there
The brother of the Polish man told Dagblad van het Noord a completely different story
"They were planning to leave," he told the newspaper
The two brothers themselves were not in direct contact
though both moved to the Netherlands many years ago
The 41-year-old man lives in IJmuiden but asked that his name be redacted
He said he moved to the Netherlands first more than two decades ago
"My heart is racing," the older brother said about the murders
The younger brother and his wife had lived in Velsen on the opposite side of the Netherlands when they bought K.'s family home exactly one year ago on Tuesday. A real estate agent who helped in the transaction between K. and the couple who bought his parents' home told the Telegraaf that there was indeed a long-running dispute
He said he had tried to mediate the dispute
which was believed to be about the condition of the home
These were issues which were not immediately known
but which surfaced in the months following the purchase
The situation reportedly escalated in September
posted a quote on Facebook attributed to author Pamela Short
move on and don't become like those who hurt you."
"You don't see something like this coming. Sometimes in your career, you deal with a conflict between two parties, but something like this? No, I have not experienced this in 25 years," a realtor associated with the transaction told AD
But one Weiteveen resident who knew about the conflict said he was saddened
Others said that K.'s family found shards of glass thrown into the pasture where they kept their animals
was considered a good neighbor when he lived in Weiteveen
he still returned weekly to help mow the verges along the roads
"The last person you would expect to do an something like this," a neighbor told RTV Drenthe
As a neighborhood we should simply stand behind him," another said
Police have only confirmed that the two people died as the result of a violent incident on Bargerweg
and that one was found in a home and the other inside a car
