The grow light sensor works in tandem with LumiGrow LEDs and the SmartPAR Wireless Control System to target the precise amount of light that a plant receives.  By specifying precise light levels, greenhouse crops can experience perfect lighting conditions regardless of changes in weather or other light-limiting factors, according to LumiGrow.

The webinar is intended to be useful for growers of all crop types.

“We already understand how growers can better use their existing lighting to achieve more robust growth,” said Melanie Yelton, LumiGrow VP of Research.  “What we’re doing is taking an informed approach towards making further discoveries, so that we can continually give the best recommendations that help our growers achieve specific goals.”

Some highlights that have been achieved in the most recent LumiGrow research trials have been: increased flowering observed in cucumbers, tomatoes and cannabis; greater yields for peppers with firmer and sweeter fruit; reduction of powdery mildew in cucumbers; discovery of optimal supplemental LED light intensity for strawberry production; as well as increases in height and weight of tomatoes by adjusting photoperiods.  Additional impacts of LED lighting strategies explored include morphology, flowering, root development and flavor.
