Spectrum as a crop signal
Plants respond to light as both energy and information. Total photons influence photosynthesis, while spectral balance can influence shape, flowering, and pigment.
Blue and red balance
Blue light is often linked to compact growth and stomatal behavior. Red light is efficient for photosynthesis, but the right balance depends on crop and stage.
Green and far-red roles
Green photons can penetrate deeper into canopies, while far-red can influence shade responses and flowering when used carefully.
Continuous improvement
Facilities improve recipes by connecting spectrum data with crop observations, quality, yield, and energy use over time.
