Longer Photoperiods with Adaptive Lighting Control Can Improve Growth of Greenhouse-grown ‘Little Gem’ Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Supplemental lighting can improve the growth of greenhouse crops, but the electricity required for supplemental lighting can be a significant expense for greenhouse growers. Lighting control strategies that use the dimmability of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have the potential to decrease this cost....
