In this part of the system, seedlings get very high (about 100%) humidity and temperature. Such conditions, together with absolute darkness, make it possible to accelerate germination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowekh2\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_nursery_nu\"><\/span>  2) Nursery (NU)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the initial germination process, which takes place in the Propagation Chamber, the seedling trays are transferred to the Nursery system. This is where they will spend the next weeks until they reach a height and weight that allows them to be transferred to the main system. Nursery can take place in two forms:<br><br>   <strong>*<\/strong> in growing cabinets<br>   <strong>*<\/strong> in specially separated rooms (for larger crops)<br><br>The germination process in Nursery is supported by automation that assigns and maintains the values \u200b\u200bfrom the cultivation recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowekh2\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_smart_crop\"><\/span>  3) SMART CROP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most important and often the longest stage of cultivation. When the seedlings reach their maturity, they are transplanted to a new space when they can continue their growth. Depending on the system, these can be cultivation carts with vertical columns or horizontally positioned NFT trough.<br><br>Smart Crop is a technology that enables automated cultivation of plants in controlled environment agriculture (CEA).

Plants are arranged vertically or horizontally, which requires constant monitoring during all growth stages. By controlling the following factors, we create an ideal environment for them to grow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>   *  Air Flow<\/strong> \u2013 provided and maintained by fans. Maintaining relative air humidity makes the plant absorb the amount of water and nutrients it needs. There is also proper transpiration, i.e. the plant gives water to the atmosphere from its above-ground parts.<br><br><strong>   *  Levels of CO2<\/strong> &#8211; carbon dioxide is essential for plants to live. Small changes in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere can significantly affect the rate of photosynthesis.<br><br><strong>   *  Lighting &#8211; LED<\/strong> lamps are used to provide the best lighting conditions. Compared to HPS or MH lamps, they don\u2019t emit as much heat and can therefore be placed in tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowekh2\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"water_purification_in_hydroponic_system\"><\/span>Water purification in hydroponic system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydroponics cannot exist without water. How do we test and check its properties? We focus on the key parameters affecting the proper growth of the plant, and one of the major ones is the degree of salinity.<br>The water used for vertical cultivation has a very low salinity (EC). Before cultivation, ion exchange water filters soften water but don&#8217;t actually filter it. After that, it flows into the main tank.<br><br>During cultivation, filters are also needed to clean the water of peat and other larger impurities. Disc filters prevent clogging of the hydraulic system, including drippers responsible for dosing a right amount of water per column. For this purpose, we do not use biofilm filters. Mesh filters are used for this, which filter out even the smallest impurities.<br><br>UV lamps, otherwise known as flow lamps, are also placed on the production line. They are used to clean the entire system. It is thanks to them that water doesn\u2019t bloom during vertical farming.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-post-featured-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hydro-polis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/417A9174-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hydro-polis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/417A9174-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hydro-polis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/417A9174-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hydro-polis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/417A9174-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hydro-polis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/417A9174-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Hydropolis<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowekh2\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"agriculture_40_%e2%80%93_how_does_the_vertical_farming_management_software_work\"><\/span>Agriculture 4.0 &#8211; how does the vertical farming management software work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Constant supervision over the cultivation recipe and the possibility of its modification gives a sense of security.
