“The average yield in the greenhouse was 600 grams per plant, quite satisfactory given that 30% of the light is lost in the greenhouse because of the photovoltaic panels.”

The farmer's objective

Employ rational production methods to market high-quality strawberries.

Agricultural practice

The experiment was conducted on Portola strawberries, grown in a photovoltaic greenhouse (height 4.80 m). The substrate was made up of compost and coconut. 4.4 plants were planted per m2. The programme lasted for 7 weeks.
