About
Fotonica has developed an LED-based light system to optimize plant growth while reducing electricity costs. The company's technology utilizes multispectral wavelength LED, enabling the grower to implement specific light prescriptions and protocols to enhance crop biomass and quality while reducing energy consumption. Fotonica's solution is based on hardware that uses dynamic light with flexible broad-spectrum lights (e.g. UVA/UVB, far-red, and infra-red) accompanied by a multispectral camera that enables image processing for the early detection of pathogens for pesticides, canopy temperature for irrigation, and nutrient deficiencies for fertilization. Fotonica's software offers full control over the output.
