In the past few years, tomato production have increased to 180 million tons, making it one of the most important crops in the world. To meet the growing demand, greenhouse tomatoes are becoming more and more common, but the traditional greenhouse tomatoes can not meet the demand for tomatoes. In this regard, experts have come up with the idea of using plant lamps to improve the situation. Experts point to one important factor that affects yields: spectrum

As the the says goes: If daily light is reduced by even 1% it can cause an equal drop in the crop yield. There are several spectrums that can have a beneficial effect on a tomato's flavor. For example, blue light is known to have an interesting effect. In several crops, increased blue light levels positively affected taste and smell. Another interesting spectrum is far red, which is also thought to improve the flavor of the fruit. However, far red can cause undesired effects, such as increased stem length. We also know that blue light can do the opposite, reducing stem length. By combining blues and far reds, we may get the best result: adding texture without the need for extra stems.

Results from expert planting tests showed that the crop yielded the highest yield with the greatest variance under the full spectrum, resulting in a 14% increase in yield. We observed a linear decrease in yield as the red percentage of the spectrum increased. Are you also interested in the spectrum acting on tomatoes?

If you are interested in testing this kind of spectrum, please feel free to contact us.

Looking forward to discussing with you more about the effects of spectrum on plants.
