How a New Coating Could Lead to Greenhouse Energy Savings
The technology is being tested by the Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs Business Unit of Wageningen University & Research.
Why Saving Energy in the Greenhouse Can Also Affect Natural Enemies
Changes in greenhouse conditions can make natural enemies become less active at times when pests continue to develop.
Recognizing Powdery Mildew By Sight and Smell
Wageningen University & Research is developing a method to detect powdery mildew using image recognition and olfactory sensors.
New Predatory Midge May Offer Effective Mite Control
Entomologists from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands are investigating new natural enemies for the control of small mites in several crops.
Familiar Face Wins Latest Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge
All competing teams managed to use artificial intelligence algorithms to autonomously grow lettuce with almost no human interventions.
Using Biorationals for Management of Soilborne Diseases
Wageningen University in The Netherlands is investigating whether biorationals can be used effectively in greenhouse cultivation against soilborne plant pathogens.
European Research Project Aims to ID Plant Light Capture
Wageningen University has developed a line sensor that measures which light wavelengths a plant absorbs and, to what extent, and why it’s important.
U.S.-Based Team Takes Early Lead in Third Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge
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.
3rd Edition of Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge Coming Soon
This time around, multidisciplinary teams from around the world will use artificial intelligence to remotely produce lettuce in a controlled environment.
Dutch Researchers Developing Robotic Gerbera Harvester
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.
European Researchers Focus on Boosting Quality of Greenhouse Tomatoes
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.
