Case Studies

The modified sunlight spectrum and light diffusion provided by the quantum dot film gave rise to 5.7% improved saleable production yield, nearly identical total fruiting biomass production, 23% higher light use efficiency (g/mol), 10% faster vegetative growth rate, and 36% reduced tomato waste compared to the control, which had no...

+16% Boost in Cannabis Production AT A GLANCE Results Crop Farm Location After ten weeks of cultivation, dry, trimmed harvest weights were reported. Dry yield measurements showed an additional 7.5 lbs of product harvested from plants under UbiGro, equivalent to a +16.0% increase in total dry yield. 248 Hybrid Cannabis...

+14-28% Boost in Winter Strawberry Trial AT A GLANCE</h4 Results Crop Farm Location This low-light level, winter study on straberry production indicates that UbiGro could be beneficial for strawberries in northern climates or during winter or low light conditions. 64 Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa ‘Albion’). Arizona State University, Mesa, AZ,...

+21% Boost in Flowering in Geranium Trial AT A GLANCE</h4 Results Crop Farm Location Results of this study show that plants under the UbiGro film flowered earlier and had more flower clusters when compared to plants under the Control film.  32 Geranium Plants (Pelargonium x hortorum, bedding geraniums) The beautiful...

+17% Yield Boost in Romaine Lettuce Trial AT A GLANCE</h4 Results Crop Farm Location +17 % Wet Weight at maturity; +6.1% average Leaf Length. Lactuca sativa L. ‘Coastal Star’ Romaine Lettuce. Santa Fe Community College Research Greenhouse. *This work was independently performed by SFCC students Jen Lein and Amanda Garcia...

This study, locally known as the ‘Glow and Grow’ project, monitored the growth and development of two aquaponic microgreen crops: mizuna (a Japanese mustard green) and a 7-crop braising mix. These crops were grown under an orange-red UbiGro luminescent quantum dot (QD) greenhouse film, and identical crops were grown in...

Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA | Wet yield showed an extra 47 lbs (estimated 7.0 lbs dry) harvested from the greenhouse with UbiGro installed, equivalent to a +8.0% increase in total yield compared to test plants grown in the control greenhouse. No differences in trichome color, finishing time, bud color,...

Alcalde, NM, USA | In this example, that translates to $12,807 additional profit per year from this greenhouse. Over the projected 4-yr life of the installed UbiGro film, the farm would take in over $51,000 in extra profit from this greenhouse alone.

UA-CEAC | UbiQD partnered with the University of Arizona Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (UA-CEAC) to enhance the lighting component of the Mars-Lunar Greenhouse prototype to improve the food production for the system. This project was funded by NASA, and the goal of the study was to prove feasibility that changing...

Hood River, OR, USA | If the farm adopted the UbiGro technology across all 40 greenhouses on site and this yield improvement was consistently realized, it could profit an additional $320,000 per year, or an additional $1.28M over the 4-yr lifetime of the films.
