Optimise crop
Crop management data
We are learning to focus much more on crop management data. We are taking advantage of the available energy to optimise crop conditions. Always looking for the balance of the different elements which includes how to convert energy or light into photosynthesis, how to maintain relative humidity levels or how to optimise humidity. Also, how to increase the speed by which the crop grows while maintaining a more stable temperature and radiation rate.”
