Agriculture

Understanding the effectiveness of light is important for every agricultural application, whether it be light from the sun or light from artificial sources.  Measuring and improving upon the quality of the lighting can equate to improvements in yield and

quality. For plant growth applications, assuring the correct UV or White light levels and/or ratios of red/blue lighting during key periods of growth have been know to increase disease resistance, the size and volume of flowers as well as the vibrancy of colors, increase fruit production, the total mass of plant product and more.
