What plants are best for purifying indoor air?
With the second crop in the Winterlight greenhouse at the Energy Innovation and Demo Centre (IDC) in Bleiswijk (NL) coming to an end, it’s
Smart CO2 dosing by listening to the plant
The gas carbon dioxide (CO2) is a raw material for photosynthesis. From this, together with water, the plant makes sugars and other compounds. Therefore
Less energy input yields as many or more gerberas
Since 2014 Dutch gerbera grower Reijm Nieuwerkerk has been using a system to actively ventilate the greenhouse air as part of its Next Generation
Light induction influences production of compounds and plant physiology
Light is more than just the big mechanism behind photosynthesis. Parts of the light spectrum, or simply more or less light, influence the development
CO2-dosing brings huge energy savings with same quality
By dosing lilies with CO2 the light level can be reduced by one third while the quality remains the same. This conclusion was made
EnergiekEvent 2016 looks back and forward
'We should not depreciate the closed greenhouse', 'Greenhouse growers should rely less on feelings and more on knowledge' and 'In the greenhouse sector of
Understanding photosynthesis important for CO2 dosing and lighting
It used to be rare to come across plants that bind CO2 mainly at night: CAM plants. But it’s no longer an exception in
Steering with high EC improves taste and quality of fruits
With a little more effort you can improve even more. This is the approach behind new trials aimed at optimizing water and fertiliser use
Contributing to the region’s self-sufficiency in vegetable production
Agro-Invest’s new 20 ha greenhouse, located in the Kaluga region of Russia, has successfully completed its first growing season. This is the first stage
