Virtual Grower 2.0 Heat Loss Calculator
Virtual Grower calculates energy consumption by predicting heat loss. To do this Virtual Grower first calculates energy flow into and out of a greenhouse, then it calculates how much fuel is required to match or offset the heat loss, if any, for each hour of a heating program.
Virtual Grower 2.0 Plant Growth Calculator
Crop growth and development depends in large part on light and temperature. Virtual Grower 2.0 allows for a great deal of control over temperature and relies on the weather database for light. For the most rapid rate of development, many crops require an inductive photoperiod; without this photoperiod, plants will fail to flower or development will be significantly delayed, yet may continue to grow vegetatively. Virtual Grower 2.0 shows crop development depending on the average temperatures and light levels during the cropping schedule.
