Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
A method of cultivating indeterminate plants, for example tomato plants, bell pepper plants, cucumber plants and/or eggplants, that are suspended from an overhead conveyor device, in a cultivation area of an indoor farming location with multiple growing zones, e.g. in a greenhouse, a vertical farm or a climatized warehouse, includes the steps of: scanning one or more parameters of the plants with a scanning device arranged in a central operating area of the farming location, characterizing the plants into multiple different harvest readiness stages on the basis of the scanned parameters, moving the plants towards the cultivation area, and sorting of plants into the multiple growing zones on the basis of their harvest readiness stage, where the plants are sorted in a number of groups, and where each group of sorted plants is moved into a respective growing zone.
