Smart farming is one of the quickest-growing industries where various technologies are deployed to boost efficiency and growth, quite literally. Every different plant type has a different root structure and system; however, plants are usually grouped together when it comes to germination and early growth, both in traditional soil plantation and modern hydroponic systems. Smart Plant Foundations is an innovative proposal for improving the early root structure – the foundations – of a plant, offering an optimised solution tailored to each plant type.
