Texas: USDA grant supports Growtainer research into better artichoke cultivation
Texas A & M Agrilife Research Center and Greentech Agro LLC also received a grant in order to introduce new technologies in indoor farming. As part of this awarded grant, Greentech Agro's Growtainers™ will be utilized to help improve and increase artichoke growing by optimizing germination and early growth conditions in Growtainers™. In this way the time from sowing to planting out is reduced; by optimizing vernalization conditions so that vigorous plants can be sowed out after the last frosts; and by starting and/or growing artichokes in indoor farms during the off season when prices for artichokes are higher.
