Whether on an economic or fundamental scale, research needs precise tools and know-how in order to remove technical and scientific obstacles. A technology that is too limited and / or not mastered can lead to approximations, errors and sometimes abortions of research projects because of the limiting factors of the technologies used. This is why our qualified tools and our teams from the R&D center in plant and technical physiology are able to support you and help you set up tests with light. Lighting acts as much on photosynthetic aspects as it does on messages based on light signals. Light impacts physiological processes to induce mechanisms within the plant. They promote defense, stress, a change in growth stage and many other levers.

Vegenov being a service provider in the field of cell biology and phytopathology, we were looking for a tool allowing us to be able to test an unlimited number of light recipes for our experiments in greenhouses and in culture chambers. We have therefore acquired the VGD Led "High Rack 6 way" lighting system. This equipment allows us today to offer our seed and agrochemical customers the opportunity to study the impact of lighting on plant metabolism and growth as well as on the development of plant microorganisms.
