Nighttime Supplemental LED Inter-lighting Improves Growth and Yield of Single-truss Tomatoes by Enhancing Photosynthesis in Both Winter and Summer

Abstract Greenhouses with sophisticated environmental control systems, or so-called plant factories with solar light, enable growers to achieve high yields of produce with desirable qualities. In a greenhouse crop with high planting density, low photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) at the lower...
