  the complexity of the water system. There are several types of water circuits – fertilized water, rainwater, osmosis, and tap water – with each mesh cage [...] This cooperation prevents the water system from becoming overwhelmed, in turn reducing the risk of flooding and water damage. ‘Insect-tight’ greenhouse [...] sustainability, reducing CO 2 emissions and ensuring more efficient energy and water consumption. In line with this goal, the construction of the new "insect

  theme, 'Soil and Water,' echoes the profound interdependence of these two vital elements in sustaining life on Earth. Both soil and water stand as indispensable [...] health and water quality and availability are intricately connected. Fertile soils, enriched with organic matter, are pivotal in regulating water retention [...] these precious resources for the benefit of future generations. Soil and water constitute the medium in which plants grow and derive essential nutrients

• Black leg of seedlings

  are in a sub-optimal condition or suffer from stress, caused for example by too much water, too high or low temperatures or sudden fluctuations in temperature [...] zoospores disperse via water. Therefore, this disease spreads most rapidly in wet conditions with a high (&gt;70%) water content of the soil or substrate. Oospores [...] greenhouses: Prevent high temperatures immediately after planting. Avoid cold and excessive warm irrigation water. Keep the water content of the substrate
