$3.5m project to trial prototype glasshouse films on climbing cropsA $3.5m FFSCRC project with Hort Innovation and LLEAF is trialling two greenhouse-film prototypes that have the potential to boost crop productivity, slash input costs and shrink the environmental footprint of Australia’s PC horticulture sector.
Smart glass-LLEAF project wrap-up: key findings and next stepsIn the recently completed 'Smart Glass' project, scientists at Western Sydney University showed the energy-saving ability of SG ULR-80 and the yield-increasing potential of LLEAF. Next steps? To combine the strengths of both.
CRC indoor-cropping projects feature on ABC LandlineWestern Sydney University scientists are trialling LLEAF P/L's new ‘light-spectra-shifting’ agricultural films on horticultural crops in a trio of CRC projects that are the focus of a recent ABC Landline segment.
Meet Zhonghua Chen: plant physiology, genomics and protected cropping expertWestern Sydney University’s Prof. Zhonghua Chen is an expert in plant physiology, plant breeding, biophysics and agronomy - and an academic mentor to Australia's next generation of crop scientists.
Meet David Tissue: crop science expertIn a career spanning decades, continents and planets, Distinguished Professor David Tissue has maintained a thirst for exploration and a desire to help crops thrive, even in the most hostile environments.
Smart Glass and LLEAF: novel spectra-shifting tech to boost energy-efficiency, crop growth and yield under coverA new CRC project is comparing two novel light-spectra-shifting films on energy-efficiency and crop productivity in greenhouse-grown lettuce.
