The Effect of Near-Infrared Radiation on Plants
Look at any textbook on botany and you will find this maxim: plants respond to optical radiation in the spectral range of 280 nm to 800 nm.The question is, how was this spectral range (sometimes referred to as Photobiologically Active Radiation, or PBAR) determined?

Is Scaffolding a Step Up (or a Step Back) for Your High-density Vertical Grow Rack System?
Vertical grow racks maximize yield by optimizing vertical and horizontal space from a grow operation. But there's a very important question every vertical indoor farm has to ask: How the heck are we supposed to get up there?
Growing plants with sound: LettUs Grow develops ultrasonic technology to boost sustainable production in horticulture.
How can you grow plants with sound? Indoor farming specialists at LettUs Grow have developed a method of growing plants using ultrasonics and water instead of soil. This innovation has the potential to increase domestic food production and conserve natural resources, by applying this technology to growing crops inside vertical farms and greenhouses.
Key Differences Between Aeroponics & Hydroponics
If you're wondering what the differences are between Aeroponics vs. Hydroponics, you're probably not alone. These often misunderstood agricultural practices are set up to be the future of farming, but most people don't know much about them.

In this study, the influence of spectral conversion under UbiGro quantum dot (QD) luminescent greenhouse films on plant growth and fruit yield of strawberries grown during winter was investigated.
Webinar explores 'what's growing' in vertical farming
The online event was hosted by Agri-Tech Innovation Centre Crop Health and Protection (CHAP), and aimed to discuss the latest trends and opportunities within this fast developing area of crop production.
"Lettuce" Help You Reduce Food Waste
The Environmental Impacts of U.S. Food Waste. Fruits and vegetables, including lettuce, are at the top of the list of foods that are most likely to end up in the trash. Food that ends up in landfills releases methane, a gas that is harmful to the environment. Plus wasted food means wasted money.

Indoor & Vertical Farming - Featured Product
X-Rail: reliability and resistance to environmental impurities
Rollon's X-Rail linear rails are a reliable solution in environments susceptible to impurities. Equipped with rolling elements with shaped and flat raceways, they are available in several versions: galvanized, nitrided or stainless-steel sheet metal. The latter version ensures total corrosion resistance, which is critical for hostile environments such as those found in vertical farming.
Particularly innovative is the T + U configuration of the X-Rail linear rails, which can compensate for the parallelism errors of mounting surfaces. This simplifies installation and reduces costs.
