Discover the differences between polyethylene-covered greenhouses and glass houses in this comprehensive comparison. Explore the advantages of each solution, from cost-effectiveness and flexibility to durability and insulation properties...
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), also known as indoor farming or vertical farming, is a method of cultivating crops in a highly controlled and monitored environment. Unlike traditional outdoor farming, CEA utilizes advanced technology...
In a greenhouse, CO2 consumption depends of the type of crops cultivated (photosynthetic activity). In the majority of large-scale greenhouse projects, CO2 is used in liquid form. However, In the majority of large-scale greenhouse projects, CO2...
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...
