Title:

ARP - Development of a virtual agronomist.

Agreement Number:

999901

Agreement Value:

$75,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 9, 2023 - Dec 15, 2023

Description:

To be profitable in the greenhouse, vegetable growers must acquire knowledge on a multitude of technical subjects. Unfortunately, theoretical knowledge is difficult to apply in the field. Currently, growers acquire knowledge through 20 years of trial and error. To increase productivity from day one, the firm will develop a virtual expert who will support the grower directly in the greenhouse. By taking advantage of the automation system, it will develop control strategies that give the grower the ability to use scientific knowledge to take action. These tools will allow him to reduce diseases in winter production, optimize growth and balance the growth of the plant.
