Choosing the Right LEDs for Your Greenhouse
Plants respond differently to various spectra so choosing the best LEDs for you will depend on your specific cultivation goals and crops, location and climate, and several other key considerations.
Increase Yield While Reducing Costs and Minimizing the Environmental Footprint
At the core of the Watsons' success has been a proactive approach to seek out and adopt new technologies that support their farming and environmental philosophy.
Motorized Pruning Shears Make Quick Work for Vineyards
Electric shears are connected to the battery which is normally fastened onto the wine growers belt with a short cable while the electrical motors are integrated into the shear's handles and apply the necessary force.
"Growth Turbo" CO2 - How Does CO2 Fertilisation Work in the Greenhouse?
Higher yields can be achieved by artificially increasing the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse, especially for vegetables. This offers greenhouse operators an enormous competitive advantage compared to outdoor cultivation.
Case Study: Combatting Crop Disease with Crop Intelligence
This case study will analyze how the use of Intelinair's AGMRI Decision Support Platform led a central Illinois group of growers to increase their fungicide purchases by over 20% in one season.
New York City, The Epicenter for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
New York City (NYC) has seen a significant boom in companies pioneering hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics. According to PitchBook Data, venture capitalists invested $1.42 billion in agriculture-related startups in NY from 2012-2020.
Does Biochar Have a Future in Agriculture?
Although there are some excellent ideas to sequester carbon, one method may prove more effective than others. It's time to take a closer look at biochar and its potential future in agriculture.
Trends in FoodTech Investing
Venture capitalists invested more than $18 billion in food technology startups during the 2020 pandemic year.
On the Roof of Ecuador, XAG Spearheads Drones for Sustainable Andean Farming
The demonstrations on potato fields have presented the high potential of fully autonomous drones in reducing labour cost and agricultural pesticide exposure.
Autonomous Pivot Systems Create New Opportunities for Smart Irrigation
Pivot irrigation is an efficient method of watering crops. The center pivot station houses a motor and a water pumping station. Water comes from a lake or a river source and runs through pipes under the ground to the pivot center.
Florida Orchard Deploys Autonomous Tractor for Precision Agriculture Research
A large citrus grove in central Florida recently incorporated FreeWave Technologies' industrial wireless M2M communications solutions in a study of autonomous tractors utilized for mowing operations.
Polarity & Nutrient Uptake
Water is a perfect example of a polar molecule. In fact, the polarity of water is what makes it such a good solvent. When salt is added to water it dissolves because the water molecules arrange themselves around the different ions and isolate them.
Supercharge Your Scouting: Connect to the Best in Field Imagery
Scouting technology has never been more advanced. But this added sophistication does not mean field health imagery tools are more complicated or unfriendly.
What to Look for in a Greenhouse Light Plan
When it comes to lighting a greenhouse or any indoor grow facility, the number of factors to consider can seem overwhelming. Should you choose intelligent LEDs? Should you go old-school with HPS?
Basics of Factory and Farm Automation
Even with generations of accumulated knowledge, farming continues to require innovation and informed decision making. Thanks to a plethora of scientific discoveries and inventions, farmers are now better at their jobs than ever before.
