Full-LED grow lights from Climalux with a built-in fan were used in trials performed over the past few months with tomatoes grown at the PROOF R&D centre in Honselersdijk. The focus of this trial was on growing high-quality tomatoes under LED lighting.

More evaporation, more water and nutrient uptake and less energy

When growing a crop in the greenhouse, it is very important that the greenhouse climate is set properly, but also can be controlled in such a way that the crop can grow optimally to achieve good yields. One of the most important elements in the greenhouse climate is the relative humidity. If this is too high then disease pressure on the crop increases and it takes more energy to achieve the right greenhouse temperature, too low and the crop experiences more stress resulting in suboptimal yields.
