Optimizing Sunlight For Vegetables Ornamentals Leafy Greens Cannabis

A Sun Powered Layer of Light

UbiGro’s greenhouse film solutions enhance the quality of sunlight your plants receive.

UbiGro® is a luminescent greenhouse film solution that optimizes sunlight within your greenhouse. This layer of light uses clean nanotechnology, known as quantum dots, to improve the quality of light in your greenhouse. UbiGro leverages unused parts of the sun’s spectrum, UV and blue photons, and converts them into orange, red, and far-red, giving your plants more of what they need to thrive.

Engineered for versatility, UbiGro seamlessly integrates with any greenhouse setup. Irrespective of type, size, or design, your plants can benefit from UbiGro’s advanced greenhouse covering materials. Choose UbiGro Cover for an external greenhouse cover application or UbiGro Inner for an internal retrofit addition. Growers utilizing either option experience healthier plants and gain up to a 30% boost in crop yields.

Improved Photosynthetic Efficiency
Quantum dots in UbiGro greenhouse covering materials convert a portion of the sun’s UV and blue light into more potent orange and red light. Orange and red light is more efficiently converted into plant energy by chlorophyll versus green, blue, or UV.
Increased Fruit & Flower Production
Ideal lighting conditions encourage biomass accumulation by providing plants more energy for fruit and flower production.
Improved Full-Canopy Absorption
UbiGro emits diffuse light, causing photons to be more uniformly distributed in a greenhouse. Increased light diffusion will decrease shadowing from the upper canopy and bring light deeper into the lower levels of the crop to increase production.
