# CASE STUDIES

### Improved leaf quality based on shading recommendations

- **Light stress detected early** by measuring photosynthetic efficiency instead of relying on visual symptoms 2 weeks later
- **Faster decision-making** as growers could adjust shading strategies within a day based on real plant responses
- **Healthier plants and improved quality** after optimizing shading and light management throughout the seasons

### Detected stress within 48 hours of temperature reduction

- **Gardin detected Phase III photosynthetic decline** associated with malate depletion in real-time
- **Real-time photosynthesis measurements** enable orchid growers to optimise lighting and shading
- **Gardin detects stress within 48 hours of temperature reduction**, up to three weeks before visible symptoms
