Learn how Priva's solutions support Next Generation Growing
Added on 21 February 2025
Wilbert Lammers: “This popular approach offers a data-driven methodology to optimize plant growth by maintaining three critical balances: energy, water, and assimilates. It emphasizes creating optimal conditions that support the plant's natural processes, leading to healthier crops and increased yields.”
Energy Balance Management: Smarter Use of Light and Temperature
Energy management is at the heart of NGG and growing by Plant Empowerment, ensuring that plants receive the right balance of light and heat for optimal photosynthesis. Priva's process computers allow precise regulation of factors such as temperature and light intensity, whether from natural or artificial sources. “By integrating technologies like Priva's climate systems and LED controls, growers can fine-tune the light spectrum to maximize plant productivity,” Wilbert explains.
Using Priva’s systems, energy costs are reduced while maintaining ideal growing conditions, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
Water Balance Optimization: Precision Irrigation for Maximum Efficiency
Water is critical to plant health, but over- or under-watering can lead to issues. NGG and the Plant Empowerment approach emphasizes maintaining the water balance through accurate monitoring and control. Priva's Precision IrrigationManagement (PIM) system provides real-time insights into plant water uptake and evaporation. “Our growers use PIM to optimize irrigation based on accurate data, ensuring that every drop of water serves its purpose,” Wilbert highlights. This prevents over-saturation, minimizes drought stress, and optimizes nutrient delivery, promoting both plant health and resource efficiency.
