The Power of Real-Time Weather Forecasts
The integration of real-time weather forecasting is just one example of how technology can be used to create a more harmonious relationship between industry and nature, ultimately leading to a more sustainable world.
Maximizing Yields with Under Canopy Lighting: How ILUMINAR Helps Commercial Growers
One of the most powerful tools in modern grow operations is under canopy lighting-a technique that ensures plants receive balanced light at every level, promoting uniform growth and increased bud production.
Revolutionizing Cultivation with Flexible Spectrum
The high-tech greenhouse Agrotopia is equipped with the latest cutting-edge cultivation techniques, including the first installation of the MITRA X FLEX. The MITRA X FLEX solution offers a flexible far-red spectrum, providing three spectra in one without losing power.
How to Optimize Light Spectrums for Each Stage of Plant Growth
As your plants transition into the vegetative stage, they require more energy to support the rapid growth of leaves and stems. This stage benefits from a mix of blue and red light, with a higher proportion of blue to red (around a 60:40 ratio).
Great Lakes Greenhouses Enhances Cucumber Production with Philips GreenPower LED toplighting and GrowWise Control Systems
Dimmable Philips LED toplighting fixtures support maximum efficiency and better use of energy. Cucumber production enhanced through use of customized zonal lighting strategies powered by Philips GrowWise Control System.
What is the importance of spectrums when growing indoors?
Spectrums are crucial when growing plants indoors because they directly affect the photosynthesis process, plant growth, and development. Here are several reasons why the light spectrum is important.
How much are your old lights costing you?
Check out the latest blog from Iluminar Lighting to get the scoop on why lamps degrade, how reflectors lose their shine, and what you can do to keep your plants thriving. Trust me, you don't wanna miss this!
Sakata Ornamentals Enhances Growth with LEDs
Sakata has replaced its HPS lights with efficient 650-watt LED lights. This way, Sakata reached a higher light level with lower energy consumption
Integration of Philips GrowWise control system with climate computer allows Huisman Chrysanten to light more effectively and efficiently
Dynamic lighting matched to energy market and crop needs. LED system controls integrated via GrowWise control system and IIVO climate computer. New lighting solution helps reduce energy consumption by 20% while increasing light level by 40%.
Enhancing Plant Potential: UV + Far Red for Horticultural Lighting
For healthy plant growth, providing the correct spectrum of light is crucial. With the integration of UV and far red wavelengths into our lighting solutions, Iluminar Lighting is revolutionizing the way plants thrive indoors.
Philips horticulture LED solutions and Hoogendoorn Growth Management collaborate to unlock the full potential of intelligent lighting in vertical farming
This will facilitate an easier integration of lighting into Hoogendoorn's IIVO Vertical climate computer and pave the way for autonomous optimization in growing crops in closed environments.
More efficient cultivation with controlled raising under LED lighting
We have been focusing on improving the plant raising phase at our GrowWise Research Center for several years now. In a series of trials, lettuce plants were raised in a controlled environment using LED lighting, and then transplanted to a professional grower's field.
>20% Light Use Efficiency Exhibited in Tomato Trial
Materials incorporating quantum dots show promise in enabling passive, electricity-free spectrum modification for improving crop production in greenhouse cultivation, but extensive controlled crop studies are needed to further validate their effectiveness.
Trial Grodan and Philips Full LED shows high level quality tomato production with up to 40% heat input reduction
The initial results show that it is possible for tomato growers to maintain high levels of quality and production, even when they reduce the heat input in the greenhouse.
Fluence Launches Next-Generation RAPTR and VYPR Fixtures
The RAPTR 2 and VYPR 4 provide maximum versatility for greenhouse lighting, featuring tunable spectra with optimal light intensity and optical distributions for produce and floriculture growers worldwide
