Evergreen

Development of a production system adapted to protected crops. Exp-00091737 / itc-20161280.

EVERGREEN is developing a production system tailored for protected crops, featuring a new structural design that incorporates light-intensity-activating particles and advanced nanomaterials applied to the micro-irrigation system to provide a biocidal effect.

The overall objective of the project is to develop a new concept for a greenhouse production system designed to optimize solar radiation and the efficiency of Irrigation systems, thereby extending their performance through the manufacture and integration of new products developed using advanced materials and coatings. The aim is to achieve better use of these resources and, in particular, to enable the cultivation of species that have not been widely grown in Spain to date.
