Plants use light for more than
just photosynthesis. Light is used to control growth, signaling, metabolite
accumulation, and other processes.
At a rudimentary level, low light conditions will result in poor
quality plants because the plants lack sufficient energy. Conversely, plants
grown at excessively high light levels can develop “sunburn”. Most commercial
greenhouse crops are lit at moderate light levels to avoid these negative
effects.
Cosyfarmer Smart Horticultural LEDs have dynamic control over
intensity and spectrum so you can always target required light levels
efficiently, while having the tools necessary to achieve quality and production
goals demanded by the modern professional grower.
Changes in the ratio of red to blue light has been proven to
affect plant morphology and physiology. Major research institutions, commercial
growers, and plant science “think tanks” like the Cosyfarmer Research Group,
are discovering the ways in which plants interact with light.
Research has shown that light intensity directly influences
growth; and increases in light intensity will increase growth until the plant
reaches its saturation point. Cosyfarmer works with major institutions to run
trials and aggregate data to determine the optimal light intensities for your
crops.
