Specific lighting for an experimental fruit and vegetable centre

The collaboration between C-LED and the Green Has Group research centre, based in Canale (Cuneo) and specialising in biostimulants and special fertilisers, has resulted in the development of a high-efficiency LED lighting project. After extensive experimentation, the project aims to manage light stress on various crops in experimental greenhouses.

"Green Has Italia was founded in 1985 as a company specialising in the production of complete systems for soilless crops, and then moved on to the research, production, and marketing of fertilisers and biostimulants for the nutrition of agricultural crops. In 2021, the company renewed its image as an international reality and assumed the brand name Green Has Group, consolidating itself as a point of reference for the world of professional agriculture," explain researchers Gianluca Loparco and Alessandro Merlone.

For their part, Raffaello Montanari, sales manager at C-LED, and Cristian D'Elia, technical contact person, explain that: "We were contacted by Green Has researchers with a very specific objective: implementing an LED lighting project with high-efficiency lamps to guarantee light stress on various crops inside our experimental greenhouse. In this way, the researchers can carry out comparative trials in different replicas, testing different prototypes made by the Plant Chemistry research unit at different concentrations (litres/ha dose)."
