ARP— Design and development of a multi-storey cultivation system for off-season strawberry production in greenhouses
FY 2023-24 · 2023-10-16
Summary
In Québec, berry production is virtually non-existent from November to May, due to low productivity levels and high production costs, particularly for energy. Greenhouses are set up with a multi-storey growing system designed to maximize the use of natural light and photosynthetic illumination. This project aims to determine the best positioning of growing slabs and the optimum planting density for strawberry plants.

Description
In Québec, berry production is virtually non-existent from November to May, due to low productivity levels and high production costs, particularly for energy. Greenhouses are set up with a multi-storey growing system designed to maximize the use of natural light and photosynthetic illumination. This project aims to determine the best positioning of growing slabs and the optimum planting density for strawberry plants.
Description (French)
Au Québec, la production de petits fruits est à peu près inexistante de novembre à mai, en raison des faibles niveaux de productivité et des coûts élevés de production, notamment pour l’énergie. Des serres sont aménagées avec un système de culture multi-étages visant à maximiser l’utilisation de la lumière naturelle et de l’éclairage photosynthétique. Ce projet vise à déterminer le meilleur positionnement des dalles de culture et la densité optimale de plantation des fraisiers.
