Lithuanian company Freya Cultivation Systems has launched a greenhouse technology that not only increases efficiency but also minimizes environmental impact. The technology, known as AeroFrame, is based on ultrasonic irrigation and allows doubling the density of plants per square meter of greenhouse. This, in turn, helps to significantly reduce the cost of heating and other utilities.

One of the key features of the AeroFrame is the use of inclined surfaces with plants at a 60-degree angle. This increases plant density by 200%. The plants are fed and irrigated by an ultrasonic aeroponic system.

The main component of the AeroFrame is energy-efficient electronic nozzles that do not require pressure to produce aerosol. This eliminates the risk of clogging and the use of high-pressure pumps, which in turn allows for complete water recirculation without filtration. This innovative approach also allows for short intervals to feed the plant roots, providing essential nutrients.

Lukas Bartusevicius, co-founder of the company, said: "We are confident that, thanks to the adapted automation and lighting, AeroFrame will produce more than 120 kg of greenery per m2 per year. In addition to productivity, we want to study the impact of doubling the plants on fixed costs."

An additional advantage is the ability to easily integrate Freya equipment with other greenhouse components. The sensors and 360-degree cameras on the mobile irrigation robot give the team the ability to monitor plant development in real time and optimize the irrigation process.

During the tests, an impressive 90.4 kg of leafy greens per square meter per year were produced. In addition, it has been found that the use of aeroponics significantly reduces the likelihood of diseases and infections.
