$PVSP Greenhouse Operation Optimization
Implementation of advanced instrumentation is a major key to efficient operations where plant yields are maximized, costs are reduced, and impacts on the environment are minimized. We have identified several areas where tremendous opportunity exists for portable chemical sensing instrumentation.
Plant chemical signals (released to the atmosphere) are important in understanding plant stage of lifecycle, production of valuable plant components including cannabinoids, and terpenes, and indicating when pests are present. We believe we can both “tune” and organize a chemical sensing system to detect and monitor these chemicals to provide guidance on when to harvest plants, and when to provide nutrient and pesticide treatment. Currently, plant harvesting is determined by visual information and destructive analysis. The use of non-destructive high sensitivity instrumentation could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bottom-line of large growing operations.
