WSU is delivering an HIA-funded project (VG16070) to validate performance of ‘Smart Glass’ film ULR-80 (SG) for use in commercial greenhouses to optimise production efficiency. This project is an extension of project VG16070 to enable testing and comparison of SG to another light-shifting film (LLEAF-Red). The additional data resulting from this extension project will greatly increase the commercial relevance of VG16070.
Prof. Zhonghua Chen, globally lauded scientist and Education Leader at Western Sydney University’s National Vegetable Protected Cropping Centre, talks about two projects he leads for FFS, exploring strategies for cooling and sustainable fertigation in glasshouse vegetable production.
