Gretchen Schimelpfenig, who has an extensive background in civil engineering and climate-smart energy management, will help the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering consortium prepare for growth and resilience.
The growing environment in greenhouses has a profound effect on numerous crop quality attributes, including crop yield, consistency, growth rate, flowering, and disease.
During a webinar on Wednesday, one expert will discuss optimum light spectrum, technology, intensity, and more in the context of controlled environment cannabis cultivation.
The third module of the Plant Lighting Short Course will cover the pros and cons of different light spectra for supplemental lighting, and achieving good light uniformity.
The second module of the Plant Lighting Short Course will show you how to assess location-specific lighting conditions and determine the lighting environment inside your facility.
The online course is design to provide greenhouse growers with an opportunity to learn about all the aspects related to the selection, implementation, and benefits of plant lighting systems.
In an upcoming webinar, Michigan State University’s Erik Runkle will focus on the effects of the photon flux density and spectrum at regulating lettuce when grown hydroponically in vertical layers.
