Light Science Technologies grow-light cloche gains £503k funding

Light Science Technologies (LST) has been awarded £503,000, by Innovate UK funding to develop an intelligent LED grow-light cloche for use within polytunnels and glasshouses.

The grow-light cloche will extend the growing season, enabling farmers to grow a wider variety of produce all year round. It will incorporate LST nurturGROW sensor and its nurturGROW luminaire, a semi-automated system for soil-based growing within polytunnels and glasshouses.

Increasing the rate of photosynthesis in field and undercover

Yield, taste and time to harvest can all be impacted by light. So, increasing the rate of photosynthesis has the potential to improve agricultural productivity and the nutritional value of the crop.

Technologies for field and undercover crops that can extract greater value from available light are to be discussed at the Agri-TechE event ‘Let there be Light’ 22nd Feb.

Analytik launches new HyperAixpert multisensor plant phenotyping system

Plant phenotyping is an emerging science that links the structure and appearance of a plant, its phenotype, with its underlying genomics. Analysing the phenotype is therefore important for research so, to determine the success of breeding, a new system from Analytik combines machine-learning with sensors to provide a rapid digital analysis of phenotyping traits.
