Located at an altitude of 680 metres, the site benefits from climate conditions that support plant development. According to agronomist Miloš Vuksanović, the crop shows growth comparable to plants in their third or fourth year, despite being in its second year of cultivation.
The plantation covers one hectare and includes around 5,000 plants. Excalibur is the first operation in Montenegro to grow this blueberry variety under current production standards, applying a structured approach to cultivation, irrigation, and crop management.
Why this matters: For operators, the real question is whether the sensing, control, or data layer creates faster and better decisions. The facilities that win are the ones that turn visibility into tighter control and tighter control into better outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LED fixture selection matter in controlled environment agriculture?
Lighting decisions affect both crop performance and energy intensity. Fixture efficiency, spectral control, and placement all influence how much value a facility gets from every kilowatt-hour.
What should growers evaluate before adopting new LED systems?
Growers should look at fixture efficiency, controllability, crop-specific use case, integration with existing controls, and the operational payback period instead of treating lighting as a standalone hardware purchase.
