Starting from the cotton cultivation the watering is strictly performed by a drip irrigation system. The cotton cultivation is monitored by state of the art technological equipment and a selected team of experienced agronomists leading to significant resource savings (40% less water).<br \/>\nSoil health practices: Crop rotation is a requirement of the Supreme Green Cotton\u00ae system. It is a well-accepted approach to manage pests and diseases and reduce the demand for herbicides. Moreover, diverse crops provide in nourishing the biological community below ground, resulting in more healthy soil. Besides the increased environmental benefits, crop rotation results in greater cotton yields and lower production costs. Crops used in rotation: wheat, clover. Crop rotation is verified by records that farmers have to keep for the previous two years.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Video&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585574487534-378da760-a88d&#8221;][vc_column_text]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J-7IJYlMxrU?list=PLfEtlEE0fZilh2B0Mn44_22kR5uR-xAdW\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>GINNING MILL<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;10396,10398,10400&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;280&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Information&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585662174295-e7030156-a99f&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Karagiorgos Ginning Mill, Larisa, Greece<br \/>\nDistance from field to ginning mill: 15 km<\/p>\n<p><strong>Company foundation:<\/strong> 1951<br \/>\n<strong>Number of employees:<\/strong> 32 all year, during the main cotton season (3 months) additional 80-90 persons<br \/>\n<strong>Average wage:<\/strong> \u20ac 880 per month<br \/>\n<strong>Working hours:<\/strong> 8 hours\/day, in shifts during the main cotton season<br \/>\n<strong>Last visit:<\/strong> October 18, 2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Sustainability&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585662174344-fda2de2f-96ac&#8221;][vc_column_text]During ginning, a part of the energy consumption (25%) is covered by renewable sources.
