VEGETAL GROW DEVELOPMENT

lighting vegetable

Greenhouse market gardening is the most widespread crop in Europe. The scarcity of our resources directly influences production methods. Producing better and more using as little water, electricity and inputs as possible is the mix of producers' know-how and innovation.


Light is the first natural factor governing the living ecosystem. Whether natural or artificially supplemented, it impacts yield, earliness but also organoleptic, physicochemical and sensory aspects. Depending on the type of infrastructure (glass greenhouses, tunnels, photovoltaic, double walls, etc.), light behaves differently and suitable lighting solutions are available for the majority of these market garden crops.
