Description of research
In this study, we demonstrate a fossil-free cultivation concept of year-round exposed tomato with dimmable LED lighting.
- Demonstration of fossil-free tomato cultivation with dimmable LED lighting
- Achieve 80-100% of heating with heat pump through intensive screening, conscious use of pipes, capture of latent heat
- Dimming based on light use efficiency and electricity prices
- CO2 dosage max 150 kg/ha/h and max 20 kg/m2/year
- Investigate effect of spectrum on pollinator activity and fruit uniformity
- Investigate the effect of substrate on plant resilience
- Monitor pollinator activity during the illuminated night with cameras and counters
This project runs until the end of September 2022.
