Photonics technology in Horticulture
Precision Begins Long Before Production
Horticulture is the science of growing plants for food and vital to feed a rising global population. Photonics technology is a key driver of efficiency in horticulture, enabling precise lighting, monitoring, and control systems that optimize plant growth, reduce resource use, and improve crop quality.
Key Facts
Use hyperspectral imager with a halogen light to image plants inside a dark room at noon and midnight over several days. Nighttime imaging significantly improves detection of spider mite infestations, increasing classification accuracy by 29-31%.
