Abstract:
Contains experimental data for the manuscript "Agrivoltaic cultivation of pears under semi-transparent panels reduces yield consistently and maintains fruit quality in Belgium". This dataset spans three year of experimental results of pear agrivoltaic research in Bierbeek, Belgium, where environmental data, development data, yield data and postharvest data was gathered between 2021 and 2023. Here, the first publication of experimental results on pear production in an agrivoltaic system are summarized. As such, we highlight how pear production remains possible in a temperate maritime climate with the additional shading and in the modified microclimate of agrivoltaic sytems.
