Hishtil is pioneering new seedling germination techniques by integrating advanced LED lighting technology in collaboration with Hortiv Megalight at its R&D facility in Nahalim. This initiative, focusing on optimizing lighting conditions for light-sensitive crops like begonias, has already shown promising results: enhanced seedling quality, up to 50% energy savings, and improved space efficiency. The unique LED system, which can be placed closely to plants without overheating, dramatically increases efficiency and light-to-energy conversion compared to traditional methods, making it especially valuable in areas with limited power supply. Hishtil is now transitioning to semi-commercial production, anticipating higher quality and uniformity in seedlings as a result of these innovations.
