Synopsis: Agribusiness: Greenhouse:

By contrast, the antibodies produced by PHARMA-PLANTA were derived from tobacco plants grown in greenhouses in Germany,

Submissions ranged from self-filling water bottles, to extreme dehumidification, to a large-scale water sources for greenhouse drip irrigation, to emergency water for lifeboats, to self-filling canteens for the military,

They can use greenhouses in order to take advantage of the sun s energy, or grow indoors with the help of artificial lights.

It takes advantage of the vertical space of city buildings rather than turning over wide expanses of land to agriculture and uses advanced greenhouse technology:

Singapore has taken local urban farming to a high level Skygreens has built the world s first commercial vertical farm in large three-story greenhouses, providing a sustainable source of fresh vegetables.

Considerable energy is required to power a closed, indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting, heating and cooling

and wind turbines with greenhouses to provide self-generated renewable electricity on-site. But the single technology that will be key to making vertical farms possible is lighting.

There is potential for these multifunctional techno-greenhouses built around LED grow lights to increase the quality of the food we eat

But this isn just a greenhouse: Toshiba plant factory will be a high-tech facility. Itl include optimized lights set to a wavelength to grow perfect plants

Like building giant greenhouses to grow food on to help take some strain off earth's resources.

We would have to launch water CO2 soil chemical fertilizers the materials to construct the greenhouses

Even though hydrogen-fuelled airliners would not emit greenhouse-increasing gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides or soot like today subsonic airplanes,

which consisted on leaves of"Outredgeous"red romaine lettuce grown in NASA's"Veggie"zero gravity greenhouse, is part of the space agency's effort to find ways to feed tomorrow's deep-space travelers.

"The Veg-01 experiment sees plants grown in zero gravity in a plastic greenhouse that consists of a collapsible plastic tent with a controllable atmosphere that is lit by red, blue,

In addition to the greenhouse the experiment also included two sets of growing pillows with romaine lettuce seeds and one with zinnias.

our calculations of the durations of payback times took account of the entire production chain for fossil fuels and biofuels with the accompanying greenhouse emissions.

but alone they won't be enough to curb greenhouse emissions given the projected rise in demand for cars globally

Sensor-based irrigation systems show potential to increase greenhouse profitability Wireless sensor-based irrigation systems can offer significant benefits to greenhouse operators.

Advances in sensor technology and increased understanding of plant physiology have made it possible for greenhouse growers to use water content sensors to accurately determine irrigation timing and application rates in soilless substrates.

The authors of a report published in Horttechnology said that the use of sensor-based irrigation technology can also accelerate container and greenhouse plant production time.

#Argentine greenhouse robot brings automation to the masses BUENOS AIRES--The new Trakür agricultural robot does not have the brains, firepower or complexity of one of the Transformers,

for its Spanish initials) to promote automation in Argentine greenhouse agrobusiness. Designed to apply pesticides in greenhouses,

the Trakür is meant to increase production of vegetables and flowers while protecting farm workers--who in the past would apply pesticides by hand--from the toxicity of the chemicals."

"When one applies these chemicals in a confined environment like a greenhouse, one likelihood of intoxication increases notably,

Greenhouse robots are generally small wheeled vehicles that carry a tank of pesticide, a sprayer to distribute the liquid,

and the amount of remaining chemical to a computer outside the greenhouse, where an operator directs the Trakür virtually.

which is selling technology that its founder first put to the test in Turkish greenhouses,

-or solar-powered sensors that are distributed in a greenhouse or field. These sensors connect to backend servers that process the data collected,

since about 2005 in hundred of installations in Turkey focused on growing greenhouse tomatoes. Those systems were sold by Climateminder's predecessor corporation,

#How LEDS Are Set to Revolutionize Hi-tech Greenhouse Farming It won't come as a surprise to discover that consumers all over the developed world are increasingly demanding seasonal vegetables all year round even

Which is why greenhouse farming has become a major factor in the food supply of the developed world.

Consequently the number of commercial greenhouses and the area they occupy is rocketing. In The netherlands for example greenhouses occupy around 0. 25 percent of the land area of the entire country.

And The netherlands isn t even the largest producer of greenhouse vegetables in Europe. That position is held by Spain.

And the largest producer of greenhouse vegetables in the world is now China. This kind of farming has a significant impact on the environment.

Commercial greenhouses have to be lit and heated in a way that optimizes growth. And up to 35 percent of the cost of greenhouse tomatoes comes from this heating and lighting.

So an important question is how to minimize the energy it takes to grow these crops.

One obvious answer is to convert greenhouses from the traditional incandescent lighting usually high pressure sodium lamps to more energy-efficient LEDS.

That might seem like an economic no-brainer but the industry has been slow to make this change because of the high initial cost of LEDS.

These guys have compared the life-cycle costs of traditional high pressure sodium lamps against those of LEDS for greenhouse lighting.

For the moment the strategy for greenhouse farmers seems clear: convert to LED lighting as quickly as possible.

Greenhouses allow for a wider variety of fruit and vegetable for a given climate. LEDS give farmers greater flexibility at a lower cost and a smaller environmental footprint.

He said three of his four 5-acre greenhouses in Panaewa sustained roof damage which will ultimately have an effect on his crops.

including underground, inside a skyscraper, in a tiny greenhouse and even in the cloud, to try and deal with the issue.

in agriculture, more effective harvesting of solar energy and its conversion into heat via greenhouses could enable year-round production as well as access to crops not currently available in certain climates.
