Amsterdam, 11 June 2025 — We’re proud to announce the launch of a brand-new whitepaper titled “The Influence of Coating on Irrigation,” created by Plant Empowerment in collaboration with valued partners Lumiforte and Cultilene. Authored by experts Paul van Gils (Lumiforte) and Remy Maat (Saint-Gobain Cultilene), this whitepaper made its debut yesterday at the GreenTech and is now available as an exclusive sneak preview during the event.

Why this whitepaper is a must-read for horticultural professionals

Light and irrigation are essential for plant growth, as they drive photosynthesis and mineral uptake. While light steers development, water supports cooling, nutrient transport, and energy production.

This comprehensive whitepaper explores not only both factors individually but also their critical interaction, a core principle of the Plant Empowerment philosophy. It offers a holistic approach to cultivation, helping growers optimize inputs like water, light, and energy, while improving plant health and resilience.

Through practical strategies and year-round insights, even for extreme conditions this whitepaper helps growers make better decisions, reduce risks, and boost productivity.
