PIKRAN

The installation allows you to grow plants regardless of the time of year and weather conditions. Watering, ventilation and lighting of plants take place automatically. The system allows you to cultivate vegetable, berry, green, ornamental and medicinal plants. The equipment has a number of functions that allow you to identify the optimal modes of growing various crops: • Regulation of plant lighting modes • Plant nutrition management • Machine vision system (in the future, it will allow replacing humans and automatically controlling the microclimate, nutrition and lighting of plants to obtain maximum yields or plants with specified properties) These cultivation systems allow you to develop the following competencies: Chemistry – preparation of nutrient solutions; Biology – plant physiology, biochemistry, agronomy; Physics – spectral composition of light, hydrodynamics, energy supply of the system; Engineering – development of structural features of plant growing systems; IT – data collection and processing, training neural networks in decision-making algorithms; Economics – calculation of planting density, yield, and sales model. Growing plants in the city, in the vicinity of consumers, is mainstream all over the world. According to the UN, city farming will be the main direction of supplying fresh plant products to urban residents. In Russia, this area is especially relevant due to the natural and climatic characteristics of the country. The training of specialists and the development of this area will improve the quality of nutrition with vitamin products of the population and strengthen food security.
