The fluid FluoMini photosynthesis detector provides Maarel Orchids with fresh insight to optimize the cultivation . refinement manager Johan Langelaan applies them and yielded better results with lower costs . He is enthusiastic about the added value of his fresh peter .
For Langelaan , working with data is a daily routine . The latterly commissioned photosynthesis detector produce a new data flow rate . In combination with the climate and production data already obtained , it yields new insights and option to optimize the cultivation strategy .
The refinement manager explain : " The photosynthesis sensor continuously measures the quantity of chlorophyll fluorescence and the incoming PAR - illumination on the works ’s leaf . These metrics point how efficiently the plant is using the available luminosity for photosynthesis . Until recently , we did not have real - time information about this . Now we do have it , we can also demonstrate the relation between the other variables and the photosynthesis efficiency . Think of plant temperature , melodic phrase humidity , temperature in the greenhouse , relative humidity , moist deficit , screen positions and PAR - luminousness . By make for with these , and seeing the resultant role , bring any point for improvement quickly to the light " .
The FluoMini photosynthesis sensing element of Sendot Research in action
First findingsFor some hebdomad , Langeloon monitored the photosynthesis in twee orchid varieties . He compared the data with other datum collected . " Those few weeks of measuring and analysing have already yielded many hint for optimisation . The cultivation circumstances have a good deal of influence on the light efficiency . In the coming weeks , we will install more photosynthesis sensing element to keep ascendency in all cultivation stages . I consider it is important to monitor the entire cultivation . because every point has its own optimum and requires different set spot . Purposefully measuring created opportunities to make plant grow well and more expeditiously , which results in higher take . The first ' quick wins ' have already been made . "

FluoMini Photosynthesis sensor
Maarel Orchids do role of the FluoMini photosynthesis sensor of Sendot Research . This is developed and tested in cooperation with noesis partner Plant Lightning and cultivation advisor Bonte de Jong of FytoConsult . The photosynthesis detector provides growers the option to traverse the utilisation of light by the plant closely and detect stress site in an former stage . This enables them to quickly correct the cultivation circumstance in the correct direction and have their craw perform maximally .
