Your crop Strategy, Precisely Executed with Autonomous Climate & Irrigation Control
Enabling sustainable growth in global horticulture
As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for greenhouse grown healthy and safe food. However, the greenhouse horticulture industry faces challenges due to an increase of cost and a shortage of crop experts.
At Blue Radix, we meet these challenges head-on with AI-driven solutions that act as a digital brain for your greenhouse. Our technology, called Crop Controller, manages climate and irrigation autonomously on behalf of the grower. Crop Controller ensures precise and predictable, high-quality crop production with fewer manual decisions and lower resource usage.
Leading the Way in Autonomous Climate & Irrigation Control
Our flagship solution, Crop Controller, uses advanced algorithms to fully automate climate and irrigation decisions, on a 5-minute level, tailored to your unique crop strategy.
- Continuously forecasting, adapting and anticipating up to 72-hour ahead
- Increase profit with higher yields while lowering resource cost by up to 15%
- Reduce manual climate computer work by up to 80%
- Manage up to 4x more hectares
- Improve consistency, efficiency, and work-life balance

Applied in Four Major Crops
Crop Controller is applicable to four of the most important fruiting vegetables in greenhouse horticulture.
The system follows the unique strategy of the grower and adapts to the specific growth dynamics of each crop – from evaporation to light response – and adjusts control accordingly, in every possible climate condition.
Tomato
From cluster to cherry tomatoes, cultivation requires a constant balance between light, temperature, humidity, and irrigation. Crop Controller automatically maintains this balance, keeping the climate stable and the plant active. Growers experience fewer RH peaks and more peace of mind in the greenhouse, even with lighting.
Cucumber
A crop with short cycles and high productivity. Crop Controller’s irrigation module ensures precise water and EC control, aligned with the current growth rhythm. The result: active crops and fewer fluctuations in growth and fruit setting.
Bell pepper
Pepper cultivation shows large daily fluctuations in evaporation and energy use. The software finely tunes ventilation, pipe heating, and screen control. It filters crop growth and harvest data from the weighing gutter for accurate irrigation, making it easier to manage multiple compartments simultaneously.
Eggplant
Eggplants respond strongly to temperature and light distribution. Crop Controller helps maintain a steady growth pace and prevent stress moments, with climate control that considers crop load and plant activity. This keeps fruit quality consistent, even during rapid growth phases.

One central control point for your greenhouse: climate, irrigation, strategy and knowledge fully integrated
In the greenhouse, nothing operates in isolation. Irrigation influences humidity; humidity affects temperature control; temperature changes plant activity and water demand; CO₂ and radiation steer assimilation and transpiration.
When these factors are steered manually and reactively, growers spend time correcting one adjustment with another. Crop Controller avoids this by continuously recalculating climate and irrigation settings based on real-time data, weather forecasts and crop behavior.
The result is practical: fewer reactive corrections and more consistent execution of the grower’s crop strategy.
Autonomous solution Crop Controller gives growers a clear advantage
Ronald Hoek, CEO of Blue Radix and one of the 3 co-founders, explains the rapid development of the company and its applications in an interview with Fruchthandel Magazin. Blue Radix, a spin-off of Dutch company AgroEnergy, started in 2019 with a strong team and, thanks to this foundation, launched its first working product, Crop Controller, in early 2022.
