5% Yield Increase from Plant Feedback

  • Multi-Variety Optimisation Enabled by Plant Feedback: FromBoer used Gardin's real-time photosynthesis sensors to fine-tune nutrient (EC) strategies across ten different lettuce varieties—something previously impossible without direct physiological insights from the plants themselves.
  • LED Strategy Redesign Saves €4,000/ha Annually: By using Gardin to monitor photosynthetic stress in response to lighting, FromBoer optimised their LED start-up strategy, reducing crop stress and cutting energy costs by €4,000 per hectare while improving productivity.
  • A New Era of Plant-Driven Growing: FromBoer's transition to plant-driven cultivation—using Gardin's insights to guide decisions—has led to faster responses, improved climate control, and higher yields, setting a new standard for precision horticulture.

4 Weeks Early Warning Indicates 5x ROI for Gardin Alerts

  • Early Detection Prevents Losses: Gardin's chlorophyll fluorescence sensors detect physiological stress up to 30 days before visual symptoms appear, enabling growers to take timely, low-cost corrective actions that preserve crop yield and quality.
  • Proven ROI in Production Conditions: In a Dutch strawberry trial, Gardin predicted a major decline in Class-1 fruit quality four weeks in advance, delivering a 5x return and payback in under 10 days.
  • Scalable Across Crops and Systems: Gardin's technology is crop-agnostic and greenhouse-ready, providing growers with a quantitative, automated platform to optimise cultivation, reduce waste, and maximise premium-grade output.

Preventing Light Stress and 10% Production Loss

  • Light Stress Caused 10% Productivity Loss: During a high-light trial in April 2025, De Peelkroon opted for a no-shading strategy against Gardin's recommendations. While traditional indicators suggested strong plant performance, Gardin's sensor data revealed chronic light stress, reducing photosynthetic efficiency, impairing night-time recovery, and resulting in a 6% yield reduction over the month.
  • Real-Time Plant Feedback Exposed Strategy Risk: Gardin's chlorophyll fluorescence sensor provided early warnings of photosynthetic decline — insights that traditional climate metrics missed. When shading was reintroduced, plant health and night-time recovery improved, confirming that plant-centric feedback is essential for climate control decisions.
  • Data-Driven Shading Strategy Protects Yield: Modelling showed that limiting PPFD to 900 µmol/m²/s with shading would have increased total assimilate production, even in high-light conditions. Gardin's autonomous system empowers growers to move beyond short-term visual cues and make smarter, long-term decisions to maximise yield and protect crop quality.
