How do you achieve the highest yields with your lighting system? As we know, increasing light intensity up to a certain species-specific point, results in a corresponding increase in yield. And when light levels are not optimized for production, or the type of crop you are growing, you are going to have slower flowering, poor root development and plant structure, as well as reduced yields. There ...
The strawberry or red strawberry is a perennial plant of the Fragaria genus that belongs to the Rosaceae family. One of the main plants grown in hydroponics is the strawberry. The need for crop rotation is influencing the investigation of new forms of cultivation to give continuity to their ...
