Problem
Traditional farming practices often result in inefficient light distribution, hindering optimal photosynthesis and leading to extended crop growth times. This can also lead to increased water usage and labor costs, impacting overall profitability and sustainability.
Solution
Opti-Harvest provides agricultural solutions leveraging its Opti-Filter™ technology to optimize light distribution for enhanced photosynthesis, leading to increased crop yields and reduced growth times. Their products are designed to integrate into existing commercial farming operations, improving water use efficiency and reducing labor costs. By optimizing the light environment, Opti-Harvest's solutions promote healthier and more productive crops, shortening the time to full production for various crops, including vineyards, citrus, and nut trees. The technology conveys positive signals to the root system, resulting in more active and efficient crops.
Target Audience
Opti-Harvest targets commercial farms and growers of various crops, including vineyards, citrus, and nut trees, seeking to increase yields, reduce growth times, and improve resource efficiency.
Features
- Opti-Gro: Shortens growth time for table, raisin, and wine grapes by 1-2 years by developing fully mature laterals in the first season.
- Opti-Shields: Reduces the time to full production for citrus, almond, pistachio, and other tree crops by 1-3 years by reflecting and scattering red-enriched sunlight.
- Opti-Panels: Provides 5-8x more light than common farming practices for table grapes, raisin grapes, and other mature trellis crops, while also offering rain protection and self-training.
- Opti-Filter™ technology: Optimizes light distribution to enhance photosynthesis and improve water use efficiency.
