Spectral Quality Effects on Strawberry Flowering and Fruit Set in Year-Round Production

This trial examined how spectral quality influences flower initiation and fruit set in everbearing strawberry under year-round greenhouse production. Treatments combined different red to blue ratios with a constant daily...

Energy Use Efficiency of LED Lighting Strategies in Northern Greenhouse Strawberry

This study compared several supplemental lighting strategies for greenhouse strawberry at northern latitudes on an energy efficiency basis. Yield, marketable quality and electricity consumption were tracked across a full winter...

Root Zone Temperature and Light Spectrum Interactions in Hydroponic Lettuce

This experiment tested whether root zone temperature modifies the crop response to light spectrum in hydroponic lettuce. A factorial design combined three nutrient solution temperatures with three spectral treatments. Significant...
