Precision Photon Delivery Systems with Dr Bruce Bugbee and Dr Marc van Iersel

Published 2022-09-20
Dr. Bruce Bugbee and Dr. Marc van Iersel discuss some of the latest technologies available for delivering photons (light) as efficiently as possible in controlled environment agriculture applications like greenhouses and vertical farms. Bruce Bugbee is a professor of crop physiology at Utah State University and President of Apogee Instruments. Marc van Iersel is a professor of horticultural physiology at the University of Georgia and co-founder of Candidus, a company that develops, builds, and installs adaptive, precision flex-dimming systems for optimizing efficiency and lowering the operating costs of supplemental LED fixtures used in greenhouses.

    What a refreshing video, two geniuses not trying to outdo each other, no interruptions, just pure unadulterated passion for the topic and respect for one another! Appreciate it, keep the videos coming please, it is always exciting to get the notification of a new apogee video, and wow we just got two days in a row, that's how you start the week baby

  • I get SO EXCITED whenever I see a new Prof. Bruce Bugbee lecture. I know I can't be the only one so stay well sirs and thank you for all of your work.
  • I'm just a humble man from New Hampshire USA I have to say this was very educational for me thanks for producing these videos with all this knowledge that you have
  • @Adrian-yz7oe
    I have the feeling that this talk will be in many future classes.
  • @thkart36
    Appreciate hearing new insights from both of you. Thank you.
  • @freedom_born
    Absolutely awesome sit down Docs. Sincerest appreciation
  • This is awesome. Clearly innovation & could lower global electric use for home and commercial agricultural farms and homegrows, which is a huge part of many people's electric bill. Also it can help more offgrid small farms use less solar panels and more veg output per watt, anddd help their LED panels last longer
  • @TronSAHeroXYZ
    I really appreciate the knowledge you guys are providing.
  • Great info, by the way I love the bye now at the end. My grandfather would say the same thing.
  • @stevepwn

    You have produced another video that I will view, review, and repeat. To saturate myself with a wealth of information I may never fully understand. I finally "get" PAR - PPF & PPFD also VPD & DLI. Not being an academic to be exposed to your research results is very , very interesting (totally new). If I were a young man I would be playing Frisbee instead of doing the required work for your university courses. So it's best that I'm 62 ignorant but willing and no longer playing Frisbee. Was it the cricket that played while the ants worked leaving the cricket out in the cold and hungry a metaphor of my lack of knowledge. Thank you for all the work posting.

    Excellent video, Both of them should come together in OptimIA University and make Green house modeling software

    Did you think of compost for thermal electricity generation?
