ESTIMATING A HARVESTING TIME FOR A PLANT SECTION BASED ON LIGHT MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

摘要

A system for estimating a harvesting time in a plant growing environment is configured to determine a light setting used by one or more light sources (11) to illuminate a section (45) of the plant growing environment with horticulture grow light. The light setting comprises at least a color component associated with the section of the plant growing environment. The system is further configured to obtain light measurement information from one or more color sensors (21) when the one or more color sensors are co-located with the one or more light sources. The system is configured to estimate a harvesting time for the section of the plant growing environment based on the light measurement information, an intensity of the color component in the light setting and a cultivation temperature protocol for the section of the plant growing environment. The cultivation temperature protocol comprises one or more assumed cultivation temperatures.
