Published purpose

The objective of this project has two of the most important factors affecting CEA yield and as a result labour intensity are 1) under/over ripening issues and 2) mold formation due to soil-borne fungal pathogens. However, these critical issues can be addressed effectively if the lead indicators could be detected early. Stratuscent’s electronic nose technology has the potential to automate the identification and tracking of the volatiles/odours released from ripening conditions or mold presence to optimize yield and operations.
