Crop Case Studies & Crop Data

Our Avocado case study 

30% yield increase with Ground Source Heat Exchange (GSHE) loop (circulation pump only) project in Jordan Valley. Conditions:

Tunnels, Mixed soil beds (Volcanic mostly)

Basil crop case study

 

OptiCrop's root zone temperature optimisation influences medical  cannabis and CBD oil crops growth: we saw 40 to 270% yield increase. It works for both indoor and outdoor projects, and is suitable for any substrate. Our projects achieved a fast ROI (under 1 year). 

250% yield increase for Chives when using OptiCroop technology

Hasharon project (greenhouse, soil): 25% yield increase

30 to 70% yield increase observed at Arava Desert (high tunnels, soil). Early planting, improved quality (in export value parameters) Heat Pump only was used for this project.

60% yoeld increase observed at the Jordan Valley farm (Net house, Volcanic substrate beds). 

GSHE loop  with circulation pump used.

15%-18% increase in size and export quality, Ground loop only (hybrid system, HSHE + heat pump)

20% yield increase at Hasharon (coastal area; Greenhouse, hanged insulates gutters).

Shortening growing cycle in 3 weeks, improved quality, no need for additional air heating, Ground Source Heat Exchange with circulation pump only

We observed 20% yield increse in cherry tomato crops (Jordan Valley project), and 30% increase in crop yield for other tomato varietals.
