5% Yield Increase from Plant Feedback
- Multi-Variety Optimisation Enabled by Plant Feedback: FromBoer used Gardin's real-time photosynthesis sensors to fine-tune nutrient (EC) strategies across ten different lettuce varieties—something previously impossible without direct physiological insights from the plants themselves.
- LED Strategy Redesign Saves €4,000/ha Annually: By using Gardin to monitor photosynthetic stress in response to lighting, FromBoer optimised their LED start-up strategy, reducing crop stress and cutting energy costs by €4,000 per hectare while improving productivity.
- A New Era of Plant-Driven Growing: FromBoer's transition to plant-driven cultivation—using Gardin's insights to guide decisions—has led to faster responses, improved climate control, and higher yields, setting a new standard for precision horticulture.
4 Weeks Early Warning Indicates 5x ROI for Gardin Alerts
- Early Detection Prevents Losses: Gardin's chlorophyll fluorescence sensors detect physiological stress up to 30 days before visual symptoms appear, enabling growers to take timely, low-cost corrective actions that preserve crop yield and quality.
- Proven ROI in Production Conditions: In a Dutch strawberry trial, Gardin predicted a major decline in Class-1 fruit quality four weeks in advance, delivering a 5x return and payback in under 10 days.
- Scalable Across Crops and Systems: Gardin's technology is crop-agnostic and greenhouse-ready, providing growers with a quantitative, automated platform to optimise cultivation, reduce waste, and maximise premium-grade output.
Preventing Light Stress and 10% Production Loss
- Light Stress Caused 10% Productivity Loss: During a high-light trial in April 2025, De Peelkroon opted for a no-shading strategy against Gardin's recommendations. While traditional indicators suggested strong plant performance, Gardin's sensor data revealed chronic light stress, reducing photosynthetic efficiency, impairing night-time recovery, and resulting in a 6% yield reduction over the month.
- Real-Time Plant Feedback Exposed Strategy Risk: Gardin's chlorophyll fluorescence sensor provided early warnings of photosynthetic decline — insights that traditional climate metrics missed. When shading was reintroduced, plant health and night-time recovery improved, confirming that plant-centric feedback is essential for climate control decisions.
- Data-Driven Shading Strategy Protects Yield: Modelling showed that limiting PPFD to 900 µmol/m²/s with shading would have increased total assimilate production, even in high-light conditions. Gardin's autonomous system empowers growers to move beyond short-term visual cues and make smarter, long-term decisions to maximise yield and protect crop quality.

The Gardin Platform is a cloud-based crop intelligence system with high-tech optical sensors. Gardin measures plant physiology in real time using chlorophyll fluorescence, generating performance alerts and growth insights days before other technologies.
Growers can adjust the environment to the precise needs of the plants throughout the growth cycle to increase yield, reduce crop variability and lower costs.
The sensors are plug and play and once deployed run fully autonomously. The Platform has a comprehensive API to allow simple integration with whatever farm management system software a grower uses.
