Plant Empowerment

Look at grow light in a different way

Have you thought about improving the distribution and uniformity of light in your greenhouse? What about the heat produced from your grow lights? Are you providing light in the optimal spectrum? And why (and how) should you be measuring the PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation)? We launched the educational program to help growers answer these and other questions.

This educational program is being developed in close collaboration with Hortilux Schréder, one of the Plant Empowerment Implementation Partners. Hortilux looks at grow light in a different way, putting the client’s yield center stage.

The company supports growers all over the planet, sharing knowledge to help them obtain the maximum results out of their usage of grow lights (LED, HPS, and hybrid). Key in this process are Hortilux’s grow-light consultants who advise growers during the orientation, implementation, and operational phases.

Improve plant health

Making changes to your lighting strategy can help you improve plant health while saving energy in the process. The Lighting program is zooming in on how growers can use artificial lighting more effectively. This not only improves plant health and boosts yield, but it also helps them to save energy – and therefore improves both their sustainability and their profitability – in the process.

The program includes an online course and an e-book, going into more depth about the role of lighting.
