Growing Bananas in Windy Weather
The Nethouse Acrobats
In extreme weather, a nethouse can protect a banana plantation from damages caused by the winds.

Always exciting to move to a new home: Ginosar banana plants moving to the nursery. Now they're not babies anymore - the nursery time is their time to grow up and become strong and tough towards their life in the field :)
Smmertime madness...

Organic section in Ginosar Agro Israel's hardening facilities
Organic banana plants are challenging to grow, because chemical pesticides and fertilizers are not allowed. The demand for organic plants is still small, but growing and Ginosar Agro Israel decided to meet the farmers' demand and recently received Organic certification. We use the most advanced organic practices, with organic pesticides and fertilizers and other special techniques. The results speak for themselves- beautiful healthy plants, as seen in the video below :)
Size sorting of pineapple plants
Size sorting is one of the key success factors to growing plants. Size sorting creates trays with plants in uniform size, so that no particular plan shades its neighbour and limits its development. Size sorting is done continuously during all stages of growing plants. In the plantation too, especially in banana plantations, the uniformity of size of newly planted fields has a major affect on plantation yields. If the plants are uniform in size, they will all grow together in harmony. Just like kindergarden children are age-grouped so that they match their friends' development.
Growers, make sure you receive uniform size plants from your suppliers!
In the video: size sorting of pineapple plants. The small plants are left in the tray while the bigger plants are taken out to another tray. This is done continously throughout the growing.
