Dutch agritech company Source.ag has introduced Approximated PAR Sum, a data-reconstruction feature for high-tech greenhouses that estimates Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) without dedicated PAR sensors.

The tool calculates daily usable light totals (mol/m²) using existing greenhouse data inputs, including solar radiation readings, glazing transmission factors, screen positions, and artificial lighting output. PAR refers to the 400–700 nanometer wavelength range used by plants for photosynthesis, unlike total solar radiation measurements that include non-photosynthetically active wavelengths.

Leonard Baart de la Faille, Lead R&D Engineer at Source.ag, said the feature converts existing greenhouse data into actionable growing insights, reducing reliance on physical sensors while enhancing modeling accuracy to help growers optimize for photosynthesis rather than simply tracking weather metrics.

The system reconstructs canopy-level light conditions through five-minute interval calculations, integrating structural transmission losses, shade screen settings, and HPS or LED lighting outputs. It also includes sensor health diagnostics and can serve as a validation layer for greenhouses that already operate PAR sensors, identifying discrepancies caused by dust, shading, or calibration drift.

By aligning natural and artificial lighting into a unified biological metric, the feature reflects a broader shift toward software-led crop modeling in controlled-environment agriculture, where standardized data inputs are increasingly central to yield forecasting, crop steering, and energy optimization.
