A beta version of a web-based
production simulator model is
currently in testing and proofing
under commercial nursery
conditions
Precision irrigation systems
using predictive models or
automated gravimetric
irrigation control are
currently under evaluation in
commercial nurseries.
Two bacterial-based
bioreactors are operating
at a nursery for real-world
assessment of the
technology
It has been demonstrated that
clay amended substrates can
reduce water application (90,000
gal/acre) and reduce leachate
volume (40,000 gal/acre)
A nursery in Georgia has
installed two constructed
wetlands that were designed
based on the information
generated from this project
