Amsterdam — Enhance decision-making by conducting multiple pre-season simulations to maximize your yield outcomes.

Source.ag, the provider of AI solutions for vegetable growers, today announces Pre-Season Simulations for Source Cultivate. The latest update allows growers to go beyond mid-season and simulate an entire cultivation period thus taking the efficiency in the greenhouse to the next level. Source Cultivate now enables growers to strategically use data to optimize growth conditions and increase yield outcomes before a single seed is planted. 

Since its initial launch in July 2024, Source Cultivate has successfully supported growers in optimizing their yield forecasting and sales operations. The solution achieved an 84% accuracy rate for yield forecasts made up to 8 weeks in advance during the last season. 

With the newest version, greenhouse growers will be able to compare multiple scenarios to choose the most economically beneficial, least risky, or most sustainable strategy for the season before it begins. This includes the following: 

  • Adjust your artificial lighting plan and observe how it affects the development of both fruits and plants. 

  • Consider how several weeks of high temperature or reduced sunlight might impact your plants, and simulate the potential effects. 

  • Set targets for plant stem density and fruit pruning, and see how these decisions impact plant load. 

  • Monitor the growth factor throughout the process to ensure your plants remain healthy.

“We are thrilled to take greenhouse operational efficiency to the next level with the pre-season simulations launch for Source Cultivate. The solution provides unmatched precision for yield forecasting, and with the new release, growers can estimate their harvest expectations even before the season starts,” said Rien Kamman, CEO and Co-founder at Source.ag.

By simulating the outcome of cultivation strategies, Source Cultivate supports growers in their decision-making process with accurate, real-time yield forecasts. It provides growers with valuable and consistent insights into how cultivation strategies, along with local greenhouse conditions, impact new fruit sets, plant load, and potential harvest. With Source Cultivate handling the complex data analysis for yield forecasting, the grower can focus on greenhouse management.
