Solving the Energy Problem of Vertical Farming
LED manufacturers are actively working to improve upon existing technologies helping to create more efficient lighting capable of providing a dramatic increase in yields with reduced energy consumption and lower overall costs
Light Interaction With Plants: Reflection, Emission and Absorption
But how do plants interact with light? There are three main types of interaction: absorption, reflection, and emission. What does each of them mean in the context of plants? How do they differ from each other?
Fluence LED Solutions Pave the Way for Optimizing Success in Urban Medicinal Cannabis Grow
Fluence's partnership with Israel-based Trichome proves the viability of growing high-quality medical cannabis product in an efficient, standardized vertical farming model
The Importance of Data and Software in CEA Planning
We have consultants that use Agritecture Designer as part of their deliverables to clients. We have vendors that use AD as a sales tool when speaking with customers, and we even have educators interested in using AD as part of their CEA curriculum.
Hydroponic Broccoli - Seed to Harvest Trials
The research and development team is always on the lookout to try various crops that have yet to be grown in a hydroponic Tower. It was a first for our grow team to trial broccoli in the ZipFarm, so we removed all expectations.
How Growers Are Future-proofing With Flexibility and Innovation
Although each vertical farm is uniquely built to overcome local challenges and to meet specific goals, the advantages of farming vertically are universally evident: space efficiency, hyper-locality to consumers, and water conservation stand out among a plethora of benefits.
Take Part in the 2023 State of CEA Report
This survey will provide insights on emerging trends and challenges in the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry.
+27% Yield Boost in Microgreens Trial
This study, locally known as the 'Glow and Grow' project, monitored the growth and development of two aquaponic microgreen crops: mizuna (a Japanese mustard green) and a 7-crop braising mix.
5 reasons to embrace sensor technology in 2023
Primarily, the technology is evolving to combine information in new advanced ways through data integration and connectivity, which is empowering farmers thanks to real-time insights, giving them optimum control over their crops.
Green Science Alliance Developed Quantum Dot Film Which Can Accelerate Plants, Agricultural Crops Growth
Developed films can be expected to speed up plants and crops growth because this film emit more red light under the sun light.
Driving the greenhouse industry to sustainable growth
The challenge for commercial greenhouse operators is that they are often large and complex systems that require multiple processes to function harmoniously. Reliability and consistency are imperative here.
+5.4% Boost in Cannabis
After three months under the films, dry, trimmed harvest weights were reported in September of 2019. Dry yield showed an extra 2.5 lbs harvested from under the film, equivalent to a +5.4% increase in total dry yield.
Using LED Technology Improve Plant Cultivation
Light quality and spectrum controllability is a prerequisite for the maximized use of light energy to save energy, reduce growing cycle times, enhance production, and improve product quality.
New R&D project for vertical food production without artificial lighting.
NOVAGRIC has developed in collaboration with Tecnalia an innovation project that solves the critical points of vertical agriculture, increasing the profitability of this type of installations.
Shedding Light on Diffused Glass Vs Clear Glass - Greenhouse
Traditionally, most glass is produced as 'clear glass' - a staple in the growing industry for decades. Diffused glass can also help prevent sunburns from taking hold in the crop.
