UbiGro is the company’s revolutionary greenhouse spectrum control technology that utilizes fluorescent quantum dots to enhance crop growth.
Los Alamos, NM—February 8, 2022— UbiQD, Inc., a New Mexico-based deep tech company specializing in nanomaterials innovation, announced today that it has released new plant trial data and launched a new website for its greenhouse industry-focused brand. UbiGro incorporates UbiQD’s quantum dot technology to create a new layer of light in a greenhouse that enables growers to create a more optimal spectrum of light. The new website allows customers to learn more about the technology, review the latest data, and connect with a team of experts: https://ubigro.com.
“UbiGro represents a revolution in the controlled environment agriculture industry, and is disruptive for energy-intensive horticultural lighting,” said Dr. Hunter McDaniel, UbiQD CEO. “We’re proud to offer our customers and collaborators a user-friendly website that helps them understand how our technology works for them, with a host of new case studies to support the value proposition.”
UbiGro has been retrofitted into more than 30 unique greenhouse sites in seven U.S. states and seven foreign countries. Customers currently trialing UbiGro for cannabis alone have over 4.3 million square feet of greenhouse crop canopy. After installing UbiGro, owners, saw:
● Up to +21% improved tomato production
● Up to +16% boost in dry trimmed cannabis yield
● Up to +21% more flower clusters in geraniums
● Up to +13% enhanced lettuce weight
