LEAF CARRIERS FOR PLANT TISSUE PRODUCTION IN IN-VITRO ENVIRONMENTS
Many plant tissue cells can be grown into entirely new plants if the environment provides the optimal climate conditions. The Leaf Carrier contributes to this in several ways.
The Leaf Carrier’s high production efficiency (up to 15 m2 growth surfuce per square meter) floor area means optimal use of floor space in a conditioned environment. Smart integration of the LED lighting into the Leaf Carrier ensures highly uniform lighting, resulting in uniform, high-quality growth of your product. Furthermore, the hygienic, integrated design provides the stable environment required for tissue production. Hence the Leaf Carrier is the ideal solution for tissue culture.
LEAF CARRIERS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF YOUNG PLANTS
To guarantee a fast and efficient production, growers are not only dependent on the climate conditions in their greenhouse but also on the (uniform) quality and size of the young plants. The development from seed to young plant must therefore be carried out extremely carefully.
Sowing, germinating and developing young vegetable and herb plants is largely done in climate chambers, labs and in-vitro settings. However, there are also growers who opt for a ‘greenhouse in greenhouse’ system too, however. The Leaf Carrier ensures uniform growth, enabling you to produce the perfect young plants at all times.
LEAF CARRIERS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MICROVEGETABLES AND CRESSES
Microgreens and cresses are highly nutritious and extremely suitable as flavouring for various dishes. Usually, 2 to 3 weeks will are sufficient for the production, assuming ideal growth conditions.
Microgreens and cresses are relatively easy to cultivate, but uniform quality and height/size are essential.
To ensure a very uniform development from seed to microgreen/cress and to guarantee the highest possible cultivation margin, the Leaf Carrier is the ideal lighting solution. For maximising the production of microgreens/cress in combination with the unique light uniformity and minimum heat generation ensure perfect growth results.
INDOOR VERTICAL PRODUCTION OF CROPS
The world’s population is growing strongly, which means there is increasing demand for fresh food that must be cultivated in an increasingly sustainable manner. Preferably cultivated locally, without using pesticides and minimal water usage.
The Leaf Carrier provides an ideal solution for indoor controlled cultivation. The Leaf Carrier is part of a total solution that enables fully automated cultivation, with trolleys moving autonomously towards automatic watering systems, spacing robots and harvesting robots. Thus enabling high-tech food production.
