No Differences Shown Between Supplimental LED, HPS Lighting in Tomato Quality

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A feasibility study has shown that using LEDs as greenhouse grow-lights for tomato crops does not diminish fruit quality, suggesting a potential alternative for or supplement to high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights. While favored for their energy-saving potential, LEDs have not been studied thoroughly for their effects on fruit quality, specifically that of tomatoes, according to researchers from Purdue University. The researchers conducted three separate studies to investigate the effect of supplemental light quantity and quality on greenhouse-grown tomatoes. Tomato plants received...Read full article
