Description
Vertical farming uses controlled environments to grow leafy greens and herbs in stacked layers.
Technical
By regulating temperature, humidity, nutrient solution chemistry, and LED light spectra, plants optimize photosynthetic efficiency, leading to efficient chlorophyll synthesis and carbohydrate production. The precise control of pH and EC ensures optimal ion uptake, while tailored light spectra maximize photosynthetic photon flux density without causing photoinhibition.
