#verticalfarming | 🌱💦💡🌡️| “Implementing changes to the lighting in our vertical farm, we were able to increase the yield of our basil with around 40%.” Also want to increase the yield of your protected cultivation? Learn more 👉bit.ly/43PtdSU

In two weeks, SharathKumar Malleshaiah (Sharath) from Horticulture and Product Physiology WUR will defend his PhD thesis entitled: "TO BLOOM OR NOT TO BLOOM: The effect of photoperiod is spectrum dependent". The ceremony will be held at the Omnia Auditorium in Wageningen on July 4th at 4pm. Good luck! 🌺
