StagePrivate

A superior climate-controlled greenhouse that provides ideal growing conditions. NuAgri’s Biodome encompasses membrane architecture and ETFE pneumatic pillows to absorb more natural sunlight and utilize energy more efficiently. Automated systems and a closed environment result in a number of advantages; less outside influences (weather, pests, pollutants); and more inside retention (heat and CO2). These benefits address the concerns about wasted resources and susceptibility to unpredictable exterior conditions. The result is an ideal growing climate.

Programmable Spectrum Lighting

StagePrivate

NuAgri’s invested interest in artificial lighting technology is aimed at creating a more successful growing climate and utilizing energy more efficiently. Solid state lighting is the future of efficient, sustainable lighting solutions. Light-Chips are not like bulbs or LED’s, they are a printed circuit boards with light emitting pixels; and the benefits make it a superior product.

The benefits of NuAgri’s Light-Chip are numerous. The Light-Chip boasts an average rated life span of 80,000 hours. It creates 100-110 lumens per watt; or 50-1500 micromoles for photosynthesis; and lamp lumen depreciation value of .96. For those in the agriculture industry, the Light-Chip can be customized to meet spectrum specific criteria needed for maximum photosynthesis (ideally 660nm and 440nm, 4-1 ratio). The operating temperature is 120 degrees Fahrenheit, significantly lower than traditional HID and LED equivalencies; and is warm to the touch allowing plants within inches for maximum micromoles and without the chance of burning. With these benefits, commercial growers and indoor gardening enthusiasts alike can start to address issues in creating a successful growing climate (energy consumption, heating / cooling, maximum photosynthesis).

Vertical Farming Cabinets

StagePrivate

Land is a finite resource, especially if growing indoors. Innovative vertical growing structures are a rising agri-tech solution. NuAgri’s Vertical Farming Cabinets offer such a solution. Cabinets are designed for maximum functionality. Plantlets are inserted via their own individualized cube trays and larger sections are removable for inspection of root systems. In addition, Plantlets are positioned on a 45 degree angle upward to maximize natural lighting.

In addition to the vertical nature of the cabinet, NuAgri’s Vertical Growing Cabinet utilizes aeroponic irrigation systems. Aeroponic irrigation requires as little as 10% the amount of water and nutrients compared to traditional methods. Exposed plant roots are periodically soaked in an oxygenated and water-based mixture containing a carefully selected blend of dissolved nutrients that provide exactly the food elements needed for optimum growth. Carbon dioxide levels can also be controlled at the leaf level.

The combination of vertical growing and aeroponic irrigation offers a new cleaner greener agri-tech solution to aspiring growers seeking more efficient operations and more sustainable profits.
