CF2GO INNOVATION VIDEO
Unveiling Photosynthetic Efficiency
The CF2GO is designed to scientifically measure photosynthesis efficiency in greenhouses without any physical contact with the plants. Positioned up to 1000mm away, it delivers real-time, accurate, and non-invasive monitoring. This enables real-time plant health data, allowing greenhouse climate control based on plant health indices rather than fixed parameters like DLI and VPD ranges.
Key Measurements
The CF2GO is able to measure the entire OJIP curve at a sampling rate of up to 1000 samples per second. Because of this unique feature multiple indices of the photosynthesis system can be measured. These are the following measured / calculated parameters.
F0 - Fj - Fi - Fm - F0/Fj - F0/Fi - Fv/Fm - Fi/Fm - Fj/Fm - TFm - Vj - M0 - Area Fv - Nto - Bav - Pridx
THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR SYSTEM
OJIP 1000 Samples per second
The OJIP curve is an advanced method for analyzing photosynthetic efficiency, providing deeper insights than traditional PAM fluorometry. By measuring additional parameters, the OJIP curve offers a more detailed view of how light energy is used in photosynthesis.
This technique involves capturing the fluorescence emission of chlorophyll in response to a saturating light pulse, creating a curve with four distinct phases: O, J, I, and P. Each phase represents different states of the photosynthetic apparatus, from the initial energy capture to the complete reduction of the electron transport chain.

Integration into MyLedgnd
The CF2GO sensor seamlessly integrates with the MyLedgnd online data platform, where all collected data is processed and displayed in a structured and intuitive interface. This allows growers to gain deeper insights into their cultivation processes and make data-driven adjustments, such as optimizing shading, lighting, and other critical greenhouse parameters.
Unlike traditional environmental sensors, the CF2GO provides direct insights into how crops respond to their surroundings. By integrating CF2GO data into MyLedgnd, growers can monitor photosynthesis efficiency, track plant responses to changing conditions, and analyze the effects of light and temperature in real time.
With a complete overview of plant health and performance, MyLedgnd enables precise climate control based on actual plant responses rather than fixed parameters. This data-driven approach supports more efficient greenhouse management, ensuring optimal growth conditions while maximizing yield and quality.
CF2GO IN THE NEWS
In a recent feature by Omroep West, we highlighted the practical use of our CF2GO system. At Maarel Orchids, two CF2GO units have been installed to monitor two different genetic lines. By comparing data from both the strongest and weakest performing plants, it's possible to optimize the greenhouse climate based on a balanced average. This approach helps growers make more precise decisions for better overall crop performance.
