The results of the crop were compared with those of tomatoes grown under SON-T lamps. This season the research is going to be continued, in which the current research objectives will be sharpened and a few additional research objectives will be formulated.
Currently, SON-T lamps are most commonly used for artificial lighting for tomatoes. But now, more and more, growers opt for a hybrid solution for various reasons. In addition to the lower operating costs of LED lamps, there are also positive crop results. This is being tested in the research facility of ‘Proefstation voor de Groenteteelt’ as we speak. In addition to the treatment in which 175 uMol/m2 SON-T is the standard, there are 3 other treatments, namely:
- 220 uMol/m2 single SON-T
- 175 uMol/m2 SON-T + 80 uMol/m2 LED toplighting
- 175 uMol/m2 SON-T + 80 uMol/m2 LED interlighting
The variety that is grown is Merlice (De Ruiter).
