This trial is a demonstration of a cultivation with 100% Led light and with an efficiënt use of water, energy and heat. Growing with LED light fits wel within the future perspective of a sustainable horticulture and it directly achieves a saving on the input of electricity.
In the last season a production of 38.7 kg/m2 was achieved with a gas consumption of 32.7 m3/m2.
In addition to the goals with energy and production there is also an experiment with two nutritional recipes in this cultivation. One recipe aims to improve the taste by increasing sodium, chlorine and sulphate and by reducing nitrogen and calcium.
