Dynamic spectrum LEDs have been touted to both improve plant quality, reduce costs, and future-proof farms.

During this GLASE webinar on Feb. 22, Chris Higgins of Hort Americas will explore the meaning of quality in greenhouse technology with a focus on horticultural lighting.

While ground-air-heat-transfer greenhouses are already in use, University of Guelph is researching how these will perform in various locations.

Drones have various uses in the greenhouse, including pest management, applying shading compound, and monitoring plant growth.

Metrolina Greenhouses is widely considered to be an industry leader not just in adopting new greenhouse technology, but in doing so for the right reasons.

Learn how one interested user asked “Can ChatGPT run a grower operation?” and tested it with some typical scenarios that growers face regularly to see if its output was correct.

This stakeholder panel will provide advice and feedback as the DLC guides the horticultural lighting industry toward connected, integrated lighting solutions.

During the virtual event, presented by the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE) consortium, researchers, growers, and manufacturers will showcase the benefits of efficient greenhouse technology.

When John Beauford of Advanced Grower Solutions decided to ask ChatGPT about technology trends in horticulture, the response was rather insightful.

Whatever the scale of adding new technology, one common theme among growers is improving efficiency and consistency, but doing so in a smart way.

Cross-disciplinary technology partnerships provide universities with funding for research, suppliers with a track record of success, and growers with reliable data.

Just like any technology, an ERP solution is a major undertaking. But with proper planning and resources, growers can ensure their deployment goes as smoothly as possible.

Traditional greenhouse irrigation strategies were primarily established on radiometric units stemming from sunlight and HPS lamps, but the advent of dynamic LED lighting, has posed challenges.
