By its fruit you will get knowledge of the platform
Horticulture has started to digitise. More and more companies are implementing technologies that make it possible to organise time-consuming processes more efficiently. It is of course not unimportant that this technology increasingly ensures that fewer costs are incurred and that higher output is realised. After all, the average grower looks at the returns on investments ...Read more
Webinar – Sustainable cultivation in horticulture
The Netherlands is considered worldwide as the example of knowledge and innovation in horticultural production, raw materials and food. It is the ideal testing ground to develop new solutions and export them to locations with different climate and market conditions. Rabobank recently published a report that describes what growers can do to reduce the use ...Read more
Cultivation variables explained: growing degree units
In this blog, we would like to tell you something about growing degree units (GDH / GDD). The reason we added this to our dashboard is that during a lot of conversations our users often ask for this. Degree hour insights are used to pro-actively control cultivation. Growers however indicate that the calculation is time-consuming ...Read more
Autonomous growing is no longer a far-fetched dream
The Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge has come to an end and we made it to the finish line. Our multidisciplinary team of horticultural experts and computer scientists from Delphy and 30MHz grew healthy cherry tomatoes remotely in 6 month’s time. In this period, we were able to develop the system and models needed to control a ...Read more
Webinar – Communicate with your plant
Together with 2Grow we’re organising a webinar on the 17th of June. 2Grow specialises in crop level measurements such as sap flow and a diameter variation. Olivier Begerem, an expert in the field of agro- and biotechnology, shares his experience on how plants respond to all kinds of influences and why looking into data real-time, ...Read more
Advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals with Digital Agriculture
Digital agriculture — digital and geospatial technologies to monitor, assess and manage soil, climatic and genetic resources — illustrates how to meet sustainability challenges within the agricultural industry. It can help balance the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainable food and plant production. Digital agriculture therefore has the potential to advance many of the ...Read more
Webinar: Growing degree hours & IPM applications with Fargro’s Ant Surrage
One of the calculations that we often encounter is the number of degree hours (days more often in arable environments) or cold hours. While examining this in more detail and gathering information about the different models and conventions, we realized how general and useful this calculation is for almost every crop. With this you can ...Read more
A conversation with: crop advisor Peter van Os
The work of crop advisors or consultants is often an underexposed subject in horticulture. Especially now, this branch of sport cannot be envied. The usual visits to greenhouses take place partly in a different form and going abroad is not possible at the moment. To discuss the situation of advisers in more detail, we spoke ...Read more
Webinar: Using additional data sources
Our next webinar is on the 14th of May. This time, we’ll show you how you can add data sources to our platform and your feed, and how you can use them. The 30MHz platform ingests any kind of data source: crop level sensors, climate computers and manual data input. This way you can interact ...Read more
Webinar – Social features
Last week (April 16th) we hosted our very first webinar. Our colleague, Steve Archer, demonstrated in less than half an hour how growers and consultants can analyse, share and discuss the cultivation strategy and crop level data through our platform. Missed it? No problem. Scroll down and check out the full broadcast on our YouTube ...Read more
