Objectives
Key scientific issues to be dealt within the framework of the CasH project include:
- Plant responses to the CasH system (plant physiological and phenological parameters, nutritional status, water-, nutrient-, and radiation use efficiency etc.)
- Agronomic performance of production systems applying CasH (yield, product quality etc.)
- Effects of CasH to greenhouse microclimate
- Detection of potential limitations (e.g. nutrient, CO2, or light deficiencies, pathogen propagation) and, if required, identification of adequate counter measures (e.g. disinfection)
- Workflow-related aspects of CasH application (row spacing, harvesting technology etc.)
Economic viability of CasH (cost-effectiveness analysis, with or without consideration of environmental impacts)
