Gyeonggi Agricultural Technology Institute, goes all out to introduce advanced agricultural technology

Gyeonggi Agricultural Technology Institute (Director Sung Je-hoon) has garnered attention for forging international joint research agreements with Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop technologies suitable for Gyeonggi's agricultural environment and introduce advanced agricultural technologies. The joint research with the Netherlands, "Development of an Optimized Model for Horticultural Crop Growth Based on Smart Farms," leverages the strengths of the Netherlands, a country with a small land area and limited sunlight, which is the world's second-largest agricultural export country and a leading nation in smart farming. The research content includes △establishing a unique index for estimating crop yields, △setting the optimal leaf area index and fruit-to-leaf ratio based on light intensity, and △verifying the optimal growth model and proving the effect of yield improvement. This research is expected to contribute to the ...
