Plants will speak to you once you embrace technology and listen to the data. The mission of the Advanced Sensing & Climate Control Lab for Sustainable CEA Systems develops resource use efficient CEA systems with computer vision guided real time crop growth monitoring systems. Harnessing this technology makes for timely identification of crop health and status, to improve resource use efficiency.
The UAgFarm facility was developed for engineering and science based research to address challenges and help advancing technology and crop production applications with indoor growing under artificial lighting, to provide experiential educational opportunities for students, and to educate and inform growers and public on indoor growing systems.
