WHAT IS VALIDATED — AND WHAT IS NOT
Research and technology validation
The technology roadmap is explicit about evidence. Variety-specific crop maps and biological hypotheses must be validated rather than marketed as universal facts.
Built into the architecture
- two separately managed environments;
- humidity and gas-composition control;
- multi-level nutrition preparation;
- seven independent manipulators;
- automatic tuber support;
- multispectral observation and spatial referencing;
- mass and calibre measurement;
- emergency plant-life-support mode.
Still research-dependent
- whether and how root pruning should be used;
- haulm-management regimes for different varieties;
- possible narrow-spectrum lighting in the root zone;
- detailed technology maps for a broad portfolio of varieties.
A variety technology map is a validation asset.
Hypotheses are not presented as production-ready functions before testing.
