You will find in this new post a new White Paper discussing about how can we improve tree nurseries efficiency using high-technology 4.0 greenhouse system with equipment, automation and robots.

The first objective of a climate battery greenhouse system is to heat the growing area without using expensive fossil fuels (or electricity). Indeed, more than ever the dependence on fossil fuels and their increasing cost pose problems for...
The latest episodes of drought and successive heat waves in Europe show us that we will have to rethink the agricultural model of tomorrow. A more reasoned agriculture, less greedy in inputs (fertilizers, phytosanitary products...), respecting...
Adiabatic cooling (also called evaporative cooling) works on the principle of water evaporation. It means that the air is cooled to a desire temperature for the crops. Positive pressure adiabatic cooling is getting more popular in North-America...
The Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is one of the main forces driving evapotranspiration in plants. The VPD is the difference between the maximum amount of water the air can hold and the amount it does contain. ore and more growers are doing VPD...
The use of high tunnels (covered with plastic film) is widespread especially in Europe and North-America for many target crops. [...] Growers usually use the passive ventilation on the sides with manual or motorized mechanisms called sides roll...
DLI is now a common term (measurement) used by commercial growers and plant scientists. In this article,an interactive and useful tool made by Joanne Logan and James Faust to check the Annual and Monthly DLI Values (mol/m2/day) in the United...
The "psychrometric diagram" of humid air is a tool to facilitate the representation of air transformations. [...] The basic concept is that there is a relationship between temperature and saturation humidity
Some UV radiation can interfere with growth, development, photosynthesis, flowering, pollination and transpiration...
The concept of positive pressure ventilation consists of mechanically injecting fresh air from outside to inside the greenhouse into the growing area. Positive pressure ventilation allows for maximum exclusion of insects and uniformity of...
