Seedbeds and Nurseries
Seedbeds and nurseries are essential to ensure the optimal development of plants during their early stages, where precise climate control is crucial for healthy growth until transplanting. At Grupo IEP, we offer comprehensive protected agriculture solutions specifically designed for nurseries, providing controlled environments tailored to the needs of sowing, germination, production, and acclimatization. With advanced technology and customized structures, we ensure strong, healthy plants ready for their next stage. Explore our main solutions for seedbeds and nurseries below.
Solutions for Seedbeds and Nurseries
Grupo IEP’s solutions for seedbeds and nurseries are designed to guarantee optimal seedling development through multitunnel greenhouses with sheet metal, polycarbonate, or mesh covers, divided into sowing, germination, production, and acclimatization zones. Equipped with mist irrigation systems, LED lighting, heating, cooling, and advanced automation, they offer precise control of temperature, humidity, and light. Complemented by cultivation tables, plant support, and phytosanitary protection, we ensure strong seedlings ready for transplanting, maximizing efficiency and quality in horticultural, fruit, and ornamental crop production.
Multitunnel Greenhouses for Precise Climate Control
Grupo IEP’s multitunnel greenhouses are ideal for seedbeds and nurseries, providing a highly controlled environment for the delicate early stages of plant growth. Built with galvanized steel structures and covers of sheet metal, polycarbonate, plastic, or mesh (depending on the region’s climate), these greenhouses are divided into functional zones:
-
Sowing zone: Equipped with fixed or mobile cultivation tables to optimize space and facilitate tray handling.
-
Germination chamber: Includes misting and heating systems (hot water or underfloor heating) to maintain high humidity and stable temperatures, essential for germination.
-
Production zone: Features adjustable LED lighting to control photoperiod and stimulate vegetative growth, along with forced ventilation for uniform air circulation.
-
Acclimatization zone: Uses shading screens and natural ventilation to prepare plants for transplanting, reducing environmental stress.
These greenhouses incorporate advanced automation with sensors and remote control software, allowing real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, CO₂, and light to ensure optimal conditions at every development stage.

Irrigation and Fertigation Systems
Precise irrigation is vital in nurseries, and Grupo IEP offers misting and micro-sprinkler systems designed to maintain consistent humidity in seedling trays without waterlogging. Integrated with fertigation, these systems:
-
Deliver customized nutrients to seedlings, promoting rapid and uniform growth.
-
Use low-pressure nozzles to create a fine mist, ideal for seeds and young plants.
-
Include automation with humidity sensors to adjust irrigation based on crop needs.
Additionally, our drainage recirculation and UV disinfection systems allow water reuse, reducing consumption and ensuring a pathogen-free environment—crucial for healthy seedlings.
LED Lighting to Stimulate Growth
Grupo IEP’s LED lighting is essential in nurseries to ensure healthy development during early growth stages, especially in areas with low solar radiation. These lights:
-
Offer adjustable wavelengths (red and blue) to optimize photosynthesis and vegetative growth.
-
Are energy-efficient, reducing operational costs in germination chambers and production zones.
-
Allow photoperiod control, adapting to crops with specific requirements, such as ornamental or horticultural plants.
-
Have a compact and durable design, ideal for installation in small spaces with uniform light distribution.
Cultivation Tables for Organization and Irrigation
Fixed or mobile cultivation tables are essential for organizing trays in nurseries. Available with welded mesh bases or trays for ebb-and-flow irrigation, these tables:
-
Optimize space and provide easy access to seedlings for sowing, watering, and transplanting.
-
Improve root ventilation and prevent contact with soil, reducing disease risk.
-
Enable uniform irrigation, ideal for seedling trays, increasing germination rates.
With over 35 years of experience, Grupo IEP’s solutions for seedbeds and nurseries combine highly technical multitunnel greenhouses with irrigation, lighting, automation, and phytosanitary protection systems, ensuring optimal development of seedlings until transplanting. Our technologies allow growers to obtain strong, uniform plants while maximizing efficiency and quality in the production of horticultural, ornamental, and fruit crops—adapted to any region or requirement.
