P’Petual has been at the forefront of greenhouse farming in Australia since November 1997. Located on the Adelaide Plains, just 32 km north of Adelaide in Buckland Park, our state-of-the-art facilities span 12 hectares (120,000 m²) under glass. We’re proud to be one of the largest producers of greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants in the country, supplying fresh, premium-quality vegetables to leading supermarkets and greengrocers 365 days a year.

Our Technology & Sustainability Practices
Climate Control Computer
Our bespoke Climate Control Computer automates heating, fogging, irrigation, shading, and nutrient delivery. By continuously monitoring temperature, humidity, light, and CO₂ levels, we ensure an ideal growing environment—maximising yield and quality.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
We champion sustainable pest control through our intensive IPM program. Beneficial insects and organisms help manage pests naturally, drastically reducing the need for chemical sprays and preserving ecological balance.
Water Recycling System
Water is a precious resource. Our closed-loop recycling system captures runoff, sterilises it, and re-injects it into the irrigation network—cutting water consumption by up to 50%.
CO₂ Capture & Reuse
P’Petual on-site CO₂ capture facility sequesters emissions from our heating systems. Instead of venting it into the atmosphere, we redirect CO₂ back into the greenhouses, where plants absorb it as a natural fertiliser—boosting growth while lowering our carbon footprint.
About AI in Agriculture and Farming
The future of farming lies at the intersection of biology and technology. By harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI), P’Petual and innovators across India are transforming agriculture into a data-driven, precision-focused industry.
Technological Advancements in Agriculture
Modern agriculture leverages a suite of digital tools to optimise every facet of crop production:
- Sensors & IoT Devices track soil moisture, nutrient levels, and weather conditions in real time.
- Automated Machinery—from drones to robotic harvesters—reduces manual labour and increases operational efficiency.
- Big Data Analytics turns vast amounts of field data into actionable insights, helping farmers fine-tune planting schedules, fertiliser regimes, and harvest timing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration
AI-driven platforms are revolutionising farming by:
- Crop Monitoring: Computer vision and drone imagery detect pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies early—enabling targeted interventions.
- Yield Prediction: Machine learning models forecast yields with remarkable accuracy, helping growers plan supply chains and pricing strategies.
- Resource Management: AI optimises irrigation, pesticide, and fertiliser application—cutting costs and environmental impact while boosting per-acre incomes.
Precision Agriculture
Precision agriculture combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and satellite imagery to:
- Map field variability down to the square metre.
- Apply inputs (water, fertiliser, pesticides) exactly where needed.
- Minimise waste and maximise productivity—all while preserving soil health and biodiversity.
Space Technology Utilization
India’s burgeoning agri-tech ecosystem is tapping into space-based assets:
- Satellite Data: High-resolution imagery informs crop health analysis, soil moisture mapping, and early warning of weather extremes.
- Startups & Innovation: Thousands of ventures are deploying space-derived insights to improve farm decision-making, from planting to post-harvest logistics.
