Switchable optical filters: the future of greenhouse covering materials?
One of the main tasks of the Smart Materials project was completed last year. Greenhouse simulation models were used to explore the potential effect
New LED lamp rates highly in hybrid lighting trial
A trial with hybrid lighting (SON-T + LED) at Dutch tomato nursery Gebroeders Koot has yielded good results. The LED lamp used in the
Dynamic simulator of solar and outdoor light conditions
Light plays an important role in demanding crop science research applications. A lot of research requires accurate replication of real-time outdoor light conditions to
Right light spectrum on bottom layer with half the energy
The LED lamps in the light fittings underneath the top growing layer shine brightly on the plants in the cultivation greenhouse at phalaenopsis growers
Radiation monitor improves understanding of plant processes
A new online app quantifies the effect of radiated heat loss on crop temperature and energy loss from the greenhouse in a simple, user-friendly
To light or not to light – that is the question
In Next Generation Growing (NGG) we’re always talking about balances: water balance, fruit balance, energy balance, etc etc. And in sweet pepper production we’re
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
