Vertical greenhouses provide approximately 8 times more growing area than the greenhouse systems with the same floor area and multi-storey designs. However, both the yield per unit area increases and the nutritional needs of the rising population are more easily met then traditional methods. In addition, it is much easier and advantageous to produce safe, […]
Hydroponic farming systems have been used intensively in recent years. In traditional farming methods, the nutrients needed by the plants are taken from the soil by the plant.

Plants carry out photosynthesis to produce the nutrients they need. The basic components of photosynthesis, which can be defined simply as the process of converting light energy into chemical energy, are chlorophyll cells, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. There are several factors to consider when selecting LED modules for artificial plant lighting and when designing […]
