Key Challenges
Growing lettuce in Iraq presents significant environmental challenges due to high temperatures, dry conditions, and water management requirements. The DWC system required highly stable water temperatures, oxygen levels, and climate conditions to maintain healthy root development and reliable crop performance. Achieving this level of balance in a harsh climate required precise environmental control and system integration.
