Light Spectras and Absorption Curves for horticulture When we talk about plants and their interaction with light, we mostly talk about photosynthesis. But this is only a small part of the story, there are numerous other mechanisms controlled by light. This article aims to help understanding the different mechanisms. Due to the complexity, we just…

The Role of Sulfur in horticulture Sulfur as Secondary Nutrients Sulphur (S) is an essential element in forming proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and chlorophyll in plants. Sulfur is a so-called Secondary Nutrient. S activates several enzymes S improves crop winter hardiness S has an important role in photosynthesis S is important for plants with high oil…
Temperature Security is important, durability is a creed The components can feel hot. This article is intended to show that there is no risk of fire and that all components such as LED panels or drivers are designed for the reached temperatures. Measurements were carried out with a FLUKE TI27, thermal imager. All lamps and…
