Problem
Hydroponic growers in hot climate regions face challenges from near-infrared radiation, which can increase energy and fertigation costs while negatively impacting crop performance. Existing solutions often fail to adequately address these issues, leading to inefficiencies and reduced yields.
Solution
Iyris develops AgriClimate technologies, including SecondSky, designed to mitigate the harmful effects of radiation on crops. These technologies selectively block near-infrared radiation while maintaining a high level of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmission. By reducing heat stress on plants, Iyris's solutions lower energy consumption for cooling and decrease fertigation needs, leading to improved resource efficiency and enhanced crop yields for hydroponic growers.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hydroponic growers and agricultural operations in hot climate regions seeking to improve resource efficiency and crop yields.
