Its primary aim is to overcome barriers and advance indoor cultivation technology. To achieve this, the facility utilizes state-of-the-art tools, including artificial lighting, sensors for aerial and crop root zone environments, computer vision cameras for plant health, an environmental control system, and meters to monitor resource consumption. Consequently, it&#8217;s objectives include performing problem solving oriented innovative research, providing hands-on learning experiences for students and educating growers and the public about the intricacies of indoor growing systems.<\/p>\n<p>At UAg, Heliospectra grow lights are installed in the three-tier indoor vertical farming system in one of the chambers also features automated climate control, fertigation control and lighting controls. The lighting spectrum chosen (IZAR spectrum with PAR + FR) is suitable for indoor cultivation. It was developed from many years of research led by Heliospectra, tailored to meet specific needs of the experiments conducted as part of collaboration between Heliospectra and University of Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-878457024\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-radius:51px;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_2101832666\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"176\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_1-e1724317038756.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Dr. Murat Kacira\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_2101832666 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-3335365649\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Dr. Murat Kacira<\/strong> <br \/>at the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC)<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3335365649 {\n  font-size: 0.75rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-878457024 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0A multi-spectral camera (MicaSense) system was used to track plant development and extract key growth features of plants. Additionally, each tier features an independent air distribution system. This system, custom-designed by the University of Arizona\u2019s CEAC, enhances aerial environmental uniformity and prevents tipburn in the plants.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Murat Kacira explains that their research developed air distribution system design alternatives that can deliver optimal growing conditions. These alternatives improve aerial environment uniformity and effectively prevent lettuce tipburn. <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Our CFD simulations and experimental studies confirmed that vertical airflow is more effective than horizontal airflow. It reduces aerodynamic resistance, improves airflow and transpiration, and thus prevents tipburn in lettuce&#8221;<\/em>, says Dr. Murat Kacira.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-634525280\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1465689980\" class=\"col medium-1 small-6 large-1\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-501863620\" class=\"col medium-5 small-6 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_862270560\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"university of Arizona lab\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_3.jpg 455w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_3-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_862270560 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1392302822\" class=\"col medium-5 small-6 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_878931982\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"University of Arizona lab\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_2.jpg 455w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Arizona-case-study_2-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_878931982 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1565701248\" class=\"col medium-1 small-6 large-1\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-634525280 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 40px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\"><strong>Grow light to depend on<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A reliable lighting system is key for maintaining healthy plant growth.
