Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining optimum placement, within a grow space, of plants of different varieties. Sets of reference environmental setpoints each correspond to a desired predicted performance of a respective plant variety. Environmental condition metrics at different positions within the grow space are determined. An allocation of the plants is determined among different volumetric regions within the grow space based on predicted performance of the plant varieties as a function of position within the grow space.
Claims21
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions for determining placement, within a grow space, of plants of one or more varieties of a plurality of plant varieties, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause at least one of the one or more computing devices to:
- a. access one or more sets of one or more reference environmental setpoints, wherein each of the one or more sets corresponds to a desired predicted performance of a respective plant variety of the plurality of varieties;
- b. access environmental condition metrics at different positions within the grow space;
- and
- c. determine an allocation of the plants of the one or more plant varieties among different volumetric regions within the grow space based on predicted performance of the one or more plant varieties as a function of position within the grow space.
A computer-implemented method for determining placement, within a grow space, of plants of one or more varieties of a plurality of plant varieties, the method comprising:
- a. accessing, by a processor, one or more sets of one or more reference environmental setpoints, wherein each of the one or more sets corresponds to a desired predicted performance of a respective plant variety of the plurality of varieties;
- b. accessing, by a processor, environmental condition metrics at different positions within the grow space;
- and
- c. determining, by a processor, an allocation of the plants of the one or more plant varieties among different volumetric regions within the grow space based on predicted performance of the one or more plant varieties as a function of position within the grow space.
A system for determining placement, within a grow space, of plants of one or more varieties of a plurality of plant varieties, the system comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- one or more processors, operatively coupled to the one or more memories, that execute the instructions to cause the system to:
- a. access one or more sets of one or more reference environmental setpoints, wherein each of the one or more sets corresponds to a desired predicted performance of a respective plant variety of the plurality of varieties;
- b. access environmental condition metrics at different positions within the grow space;
- and
- c. determine an allocation of the plants of the one or more plant varieties among different volumetric regions within the grow space based on predicted performance of the one or more plant varieties as a function of position within the grow space.
