Shortening Growing Cycles with ActivatedAir™

By shortening crop cycles, CEA growers can achieve greater efficiency, increased output, and improved profitability.

ActivatedAir™ significantly enhances CEA profitability by increasing the number of harvests per year. With faster crop turnover, growers can generate more produce within the same timeframe, leading to higher annual yields. This accelerated production cycle maximises the use of resources such as space, energy, and labour, effectively reducing the cost per unit of produce.

For example, artificial lighting can be the most significant cost in a growing system. Less time getting to the target crop size means less time under lights, which results in significant savings.

ActivatedAir^TM plasma seed priming helps the seeds germinate simultaneously, leading to a uniform plant population.

Consistent emergence simplifies crop management, allowing growers to plan more effectively for irrigation, pest control, and nutrient application. The result is a healthier, more predictable crop, which reduces the variability that can often complicate harvest timing.

This uniformity doesn’t just make growing more manageable – it also leads to reduced waste. With more consistent plant growth, farmers can time their harvests more precisely, minimising the risk of crop loss due to over or underdevelopment.
