Integration of lighting and CO₂ control to optimize crop production efficiency

Combining lighting and CO₂ control in commercial greenhouses and indoor farms can increase crop production efficiency and reduce operational costs. GLASE researchers at Cornell University are developing crop-specific models correlating day light integral (DLI) and CO₂ concentration for lettuce, tomato and strawberries. The resulting software will allow growers to select and pre-programmed CO₂ and DLI equations for lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries.
