UbiBot SP1 For Greenhouse Light Regulation
To grow plant plants in greenhouses, you need light. The amount of light a plant receives determines the length of time a plan remains active and its rate of growth. The most basic metabolic process of the plant is photosynthesis, and photosynthesis requires light energy. Three Aspects of Light Effect There are three aspects of light that should be considered when determining the effect that ...

Soil phosphorus
As I "dig" deeper into the soil microbial world I am amazed how much we understand but few utilize what we do know. The word is getting out that if we let the soil microbes thrive and multiply by feeding our soil degradable plant and organic material the microbes will give our plants and crops back the nutrients they need. We are now finding that by adding fertilizers directly in the inorganic ...

Are you lighting for optimum yields?
How do you achieve the highest yields with your lighting system? As we know, increasing light intensity up to a certain species-specific point, results in a corresponding increase in yield. And when light levels are not optimized for production, or the type of crop you are growing, you are going to have slower flowering, poor root development and plant structure, as well as reduced yields. There ...

Wheat: Preparing the Root System for Tillering and Vegetative Growth
The number of tillers is the primary yield component of straw cereals, including wheat, the world’s most widely grown cereal. The number of tillers is fundamental to crop yield development. It will compensate for the loss of plants during sowing due to poor planting. It is directly related to the final number of ears. Three leaves constitute a tiller, and this tiller can be transformed ...

How can we increase the apple yield that reaches commercial yield?
The metabolism activity of the tree from flowering till the harvest is essential to ensure the highest possible commercial yield. Metabolism linked to fruit growth has to be supported by the energy of the plant. If not, the caliber will be scarce and irregular at harvest. Supporting the energetic production and transport into the plant is thus ...
