Een waar huzarenstuk, naar verluidt niet eerder vertoond: het uitzonderlijk hoge kascomplex (14 meter!) dat wordt gebouwd op de internationale Floriade Expo 2022 in Almere. Het architectonische hoogstandje is volgens de Westlandse makers mogelijk de hoogste kas ter wereld.

In late 2020 Valoya and Hohenheim University embarked on a 3-year-long research partnership aimed at better understanding how light affects the cannabis plant. Due to regulatory restrictions, it has been very difficult if not impossible to study cannabis in most places around the world, up to the recent times. Even though cannabis is slowly being decriminalized and is entering the mainstream, there is very little scientific data on any aspect of its cultivation, processing and use. This ambitious research partnership is focused on changing that by conducting 6 scientific studies over the three-year period studying plant morphology and chemical composition under varying growth conditions.

Printed media, radio and television journalists as well as (press) photographers are more than welcome at Floriade Expo 2022 though only after registering and with the communications departments’ permission.

CO2 GRO is pleased to announce a commercial feasibility of a CO2 Delivery Solutions™ system with a major E.U. based greenhouse vegetable grower that wishes to remain unnamed ("the customer"). Once installed, the commercial feasibility will continue for a period of twelve months. This is GROW's largest potential customer to date with nearly 1,000 hectares (approximately 100 million square feet) of greenhouse grown vegetables.

CO2 Gro Inc. has been on a long road with its technology for improving the use of greenhouse gas in greenhouses.

Ceres Greenhouse Solutions uses passive solar design principles coupled with plant sensing to provide growers real-time information on how to optimize growing conditions.

Investment into "agritech" startups is booming as the sector pivots to meet rapid population growth. Startups are improving everything from beekeeping and food waste to disease testing in crops. Inisder asked VCs to pick 15 agriculture startups that are set to take off over the next 12 months.

Swiss-based technology company Vivent announced today a new partnership with Bayer which grants the company access to the system PhytlSigns.

The new technology provides farmers with an insight into crop stressors prior to visual symptoms appearing. Bayer researchers will use the technology to accelerate discovery of innovative crop protection chemistry.

The HORTILED Top Sirius offers the best of both worlds. This LED grow light system is the perfect solution for new construction projects, as well as for replacing HPS fixtures in existing greenhouses.

Valoya’s high end LED grow lights have been available in the Spanish market for over a decade, thanks to a Barcelona based, horticultural consultant and supplier, Buresinnova. Part of the Bures family of businesses with more than 50 years dedicated to the service of agriculture, seedbeds, substrate production and gardening, Buresinnova offers a portfolio of brands rigorously selected for their solid track record in research.

A three year long research partnership on Cannabis sativa has been kicked off with the first experiment, running since October last year. The goal of the research partnership is to advance our understanding of the light spectrum and lighting technology effects on flower yields and quality of multiple strains of cannabis. These results will also help develop even more efficient lighting protocols for professional cannabis cultivators.
