Determining optimal light spectrum for crop development
It is now apparent that the spectral combinations for different crop species are unique and the wrong ‘recipe’ can be detrimental to the crop at hand. GLASE researchers at Cornell and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are working to identify effective light spectrum combinations to improve crop quality and reduce energy costs.
