Vegetable and Berry Crops
Grupo IEP’s vegetable and berry crops benefit from advanced protected agriculture solutions designed to optimize essential conditions of temperature, humidity, and light for vegetables such as tomato, pepper, cucumber, and berries like strawberry and blueberry. Using multitunnel greenhouses, parral systems, and zig-zag shade houses, we offer systems that reduce growing times, enable production during adverse seasons, and protect against pests and extreme weather. Discover how our technologies boost the productivity and quality of your horticultural crops.
Solutions for Vegetable Cultivation
Vegetable crops such as tomato, pepper, cucumber, zucchini, and others require a controlled environment to maximize yield and quality, especially in regions with challenging climates. At Grupo IEP, we offer comprehensive protected agriculture solutions specifically designed to meet the needs of these crops, ensuring optimal growth, protection against adversity, and efficient year-round production. Below are our main solutions tailored for horticultural crops.
Multitunnel Greenhouses for Advanced Climate Control
Multitunnel greenhouses are the ideal choice for vegetable crops that demand strict microclimate control. Available in round arch, gothic, asymmetrical, or tropical designs, these galvanized steel structures adapt to diverse climate zones—from cold to tropical regions. Equipped with advanced technologies such as:
-
Evaporative cooling or misting systems to reduce temperatures in hot climates.
-
Heating systems using hot water, air, or radiant floor to maintain optimal winter temperatures.
-
Hydroponic systems that optimize water and nutrient use, ensuring precise and constant supply.
-
Adjustable LED lighting to regulate photoperiod and stimulate growth or flowering.
These greenhouses allow automated monitoring of climate, humidity, and CO₂, creating ideal conditions at every crop stage—from germination to harvest—and ensuring high-quality production even in adverse conditions.
Trelling Greenhouses for Warm Climates
In regions with warm climates or seasons where intensive climate control is not necessary, parral greenhouses offer an economical and effective solution for vegetable cultivation. Characterized by a flexible structure of tensioned wires and plastic covers over galvanized mesh, parral structures provide:
-
Uniform light distribution for consistent plant growth.
-
Natural lateral and overhead ventilation to regulate temperature and humidity.
-
Wind resistance and adaptability to uneven terrain.
Trelling Greenhouse ideal for crops such as tomato and pepper in areas where the climate allows for production with lower technological investment, while still offering good protection against rain and pests.
Zig-Zag Shade Houses for Sensitive Crop Protection
Zig-zag shade houses are mesh structures designed to protect vegetable crops from harsh weather conditions such as excess solar radiation, hail, or pests, while allowing earlier harvests. These solutions are especially useful for sensitive crops like cucumber or pepper in temperate climates, offering:
-
Permeable mesh that reduces direct radiation and diffuses light, enhancing photosynthesis.
-
Optimal ventilation thanks to their open design and height of up to 7 meters.
-
Fast and cost-effective assembly, adaptable to various plot geometries.
Zig-zag shade houses are a sustainable option combining protection with simple management, ideal for growers looking to improve quality and enter the market early.

Precision Irrigation and Fertigation Systems
Irrigation is key to the success of vegetable crops, and at Grupo IEP we offer advanced systems such as drip irrigation, micro-sprinklers, and misting, designed to maximize water efficiency. Integrated with fertigation, these systems deliver water and nutrients directly to the roots, adjusting to the specific needs of each crop based on its phenological stage. Our recirculated hydroponic irrigation solutions also enable water reuse, reducing consumption and minimizing environmental impact, while remote control systems ensure precise and automated monitoring.
Automation and Climate Control
To ensure an optimal environment, our automation systems integrate ventilation, climate, lighting, irrigation, and thermal or shading screens. Equipped with sensors, weather stations, and remote management software, they allow real-time adjustment of parameters such as temperature, humidity, and CO₂—optimizing growth and reducing operational costs. These systems are especially valuable for vegetable crops that require specific conditions in each development phase.
Trellising for Efficient Growth
Grupo IEP’s trellising systems—featuring galvanized steel wires, UV-resistant raffia, and accessories like clips and hooks—are essential for vegetable crops such as tomato and pepper. They facilitate vertical growth, improve light exposure, optimize space, and simplify pruning and harvesting, resulting in higher quality yields and more efficient crop management.
These solutions combine Grupo IEP’s expertise with cutting-edge technologies to provide vegetable producers with tools that not only protect their crops but also increase productivity, reduce costs, and promote sustainability. Whether through highly technological greenhouses or simpler structures, our proposals are tailored to the needs of each farm, ensuring exceptional results in any region or climate.
