Learn how LED lights cut growing time by 50%

A revolution is happening in horticulture. It’s a seismic shift that will change fundamentally how we grow plants – and it’s all down to lighting. Thanks to the unique properties of LED lighting and major advances in our understanding of plants, we now have exciting possibilities to tune the light to boost yield, customise the plant characteristics and maintain plant health.

At the Horticultural Lighting Conference Europe, you will benefit from:
  • Exclusive keynote presenters discussing the latest science enabling year-round crop production
  • Networking drinks reception with thought leaders and practitioners at the forefront of the industry
  • Interactive sessions showcasing the latest products and technologies impacting LED horticultural applications
Speakers
  • Sreya Ghosh of the John Innes Centre will talk about speed breeding and how a team of scientists has cut the growing time of wheat by 50 per cent using LED lighting.
  • Koen Vangorp of MechaTronix discusses the importance of light distribution in plant growth and yield and how high planting density can result in lower PPFD at the lower leaves, reducing overall plant growth.
  • Richard Blakley of Wurth Electroniks will discuss the reflection, absorption and transmission of electromagnetic radiation by plants.
