Findings from the WUR’s ‘Circular Use of Plastics in Agriculture and Horticulture’ project show ways to use plastics more sustainably.

The first in a three-part white paper series explores circular fertilizer greenhouse uses, starting with nitrogen-based fertilization.

The joint study between Wageningen and Utrecht University opens up new understanding of how colored light affects photosynthesis.

Here’s why Wageningen University & Research made biological crop protection a part of its fourth annual Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge.

Wageningen University and Research (WUR) explains the education benefits of Kassim the Game virtual greenhouse grower experience.

The Greenhouse Horticulture unit of WUR is gaining valuable sensor information through chrysanthemum irrigation trials.

The Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs division is investigating opportunities for the application of new biological control agents.

The Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs division is investigating the growing of chrysanthemums with the Perfect Chrysanthemum project.

Joseph Peller, greenhouse technology researcher, notes that a laser sounds futuristic, but it can be used very well in a practical way.

The technology is being tested by the Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs Business Unit of Wageningen University & Research.

Changes in greenhouse conditions can make natural enemies become less active at times when pests continue to develop.

Wageningen University & Research is developing a method to detect powdery mildew using image recognition and olfactory sensors.

Entomologists from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands are investigating new natural enemies for the control of small mites in several crops.

All competing teams managed to use artificial intelligence algorithms to autonomously grow lettuce with almost no human interventions.

Wageningen University in The Netherlands is investigating whether biorationals can be used effectively in greenhouse cultivation against soilborne plant pathogens.

Wageningen University has developed a line sensor that measures which light wavelengths a plant absorbs and, to what extent, and why it’s important.

Led by Ken Tran, who was part of the team that won the first competition in 2019, the team grew virtual lettuce with the help of artificial intelligence, and evaluated images of lettuce in different growth stages.

This time around, multidisciplinary teams from around the world will use artificial intelligence to remotely produce lettuce in a controlled environment.

A gerbera has a thin, long stem, which means the robot must gently hug the stem and then descend down to the best place to harvest the stem.

Wageningen University & Research is participating in a new initiative in which breeding companies, scientists, and growers are joining forces to increase crop resilience and quality.
