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.
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.
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.
Research from Wageningen University shows that with the same light and heat, crops such as potted plants achieve approximately 30% more dry weight than with a traditional treatment.
Kopf’s expertise in tech startups and her vision for the agriculture sector will give TRACT a competitive edge as it moves towards its customer launch in early 2024 and beyond.
The agreements include acquiring horticulture lighting products from Current to be exclusively distributed by Hort Americas, a leading supplier to the controlled environment agriculture market.
