2020 was a record year for strawberry yields at the Water Efficient Technology Centre (WET Centre), based at NIAB EMR in Kent, UK. The WET Centre is an extensive research and demonstration facility that features a portfolio of innovative growing techniques and smart irrigation systems for the soft fruit sector. It showcases the latest solutions to improve water use efficiency and local water ...
Farm Fertilizer - A Double-Edged Sword The excessive use of fertilizers is one of the main causes of the environmental impact of industrial agriculture. The notion that more is better has caused more harm than good to farming, as well as the environment. Therefore, using the right amount of fertilizers is considered an important part of farm management. To this end, there has been a lot of ...
The output looks equal to or even greater than an HPS. But, when you move the PAR sensor any direction from centered beneath the LED the light level decreases much more under the LED than any HPS fixture! ...
For crops, photosynthesis happens using a broader spectrum of light wavelengths referred to as PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) which is the range from 400 to 700 nanometers and actually drives photosynthesis. ...
The PC software will appear identical however the underlying drivers for the camera, PAR sensors, gps, and positioning sensors will change. The PAR sensors will also gain measurement detail as the new circuit board collects and passes data from each individual sensor leaving the analysis to the ...
