Measuring crop growth with sensors

The Dutch greenhouse horticulture industry is a global leader in sustainable innovations. Compared to other countries, its ecological footprint is already low. In the other hand new technologies offer opportunities to further control cultivation and make it more sustainable. Current measurement methods damage plants and disrupt growth. The Smart Sensor Systems and Photonics research groups are researching non-contact ways to measure crops with sensors and light technology such as optics and photonics. Inholland University of Applied Sciences, Lentiz vocational secondary education and various technical suppliers and growers in the Westland region are also collaborating with the project.
