Resources for plant‐based food: Estimating resource use to meet the requirements of urban and peri‐urban diets

Food and Energy Security, 2023
The rapid urban growth seen globally in recent years has not been supported by a simultaneous increase in agricultural land and/or crop productivity.

DE EFFECT OF CLEAR AND DEFUSE GLASS COVERING MATERIALS ON FRUIT YIELD AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF GREENHOUSE CUCUMBER GROWN IN HOT CLIMATE

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2021
Using proper greenhouse covering materials can provide a suitable environment for plant growth in Saudi Arabia. The effects of three different greenhouse covering materials, clear glass, polycarbonate and diffuse tempered glass were used to evaluate its

Cherry Tomato Production in Intelligent Greenhouses—Sensors and AI for Control of Climate, Irrigation, Crop Yield, and Quality

Sensors, 2020
Greenhouses and indoor farming systems play an important role in providing fresh and nutritious food for the growing global population. Farms are becoming larger and greenhouse growers need to make complex decisions to maximize production and minimize ...

Elicitor Application in Strawberry Results in Long-Term Increase of Plant Resilience Without Yield Loss

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
For a first step integrating elicitor applications into the current IPM strategy increasing plant resilience against pests, we investigated repeated elicitor treatments in a strawberry everbearer nursery and cropping cycle under glass.

Eggsplorer: a rapid plant–insect resistance determination tool using an automated whitefly egg quantification algorithm

Plant Methods, 2023
Background A well-known method for evaluating plant resistance to insects is by measuring insect reproduction or oviposition. Whiteflies are vectors of economically important viral diseases and are, therefore, widely studied.

Consequences of interplant trait variation for canopy light absorption and photosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Plant-to-plant variation (interplant variation) may play an important role in determining individual plant and whole canopy performance, where interplant variation in architecture and photosynthesis traits has direct effects on light absorption and ...

Consequences of intra-canopy and top LED lighting for uniformity of light distribution in a tomato crop

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
In the past decade, the potential of positioning LED lamps in between the canopy (intra-canopy) to enhance crop growth and yield has been explored in greenhouse cultivation.

Tomato Inoculation With a Non-pathogenic Strain of Fusarium oxysporum Enhances Pest Control by Changing the Feeding Preference of an Omnivorous Predator

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Mirid predators, a special group of plant-feeding omnivorous predators, have become important biological control agents for pest control in greenhouse cropping systems. Their efficacy and behavior may potentially be affected by microorganisms that induce
