GrowLab: Turn-key solution for efficient plant propagation

The GrowLab is a climate controlled closed room in which the perfect growing environment can be created. The Livingstone concept is based on the use of semi-closed packaging which can be seen as a mini-greenhouse which preserves the perfect growing conditions without having to be in contact with the plants. In the packaging, the crops are grown in a multi-layer system under LED lights. The Livingstone concept is fully automated to prevent losses by diseases or mistakes in environmental management. Because of the semi-closed containers, a minimum of water and fertilizers is required.

Using the GrowLab makes it possible to produce special varieties of seedlings of the highest possible quality with the lowest risks and costs all year round. The market for high-quality seedlings is substantial all over the world. Tissue Culture, the most successful way of micro-propagation is the growing of plant cells on specially designed medium (gel or liquid). In the medium, cells will form a cluster of not-organized cells that differentiate into small plants. It is used for vegetable and tree multiplication to produce virus-free plants. There are no genetic modifications introduced, so plants propagated with Tissue Culture are not Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). Common methods of propagation are labour-intensive, low in productivity and seasonal.
