Fluence by Osram in launching its intercanopy lighting solution, Vyne, explains their newest luminaire is equipped with multiple spectral options to enable growers to balance light efficacy with crop quality and yield.
Fluence, a wholly owned subsidiary of Osram, says intercanopy lighting can be an effective strategy for high-density vine crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Fluence’s Vyne solution is ideal for greenhouse environments in combination with supplemental top lighting. With Vyne, photosynthetically active radiation reaches leaves lower in the canopy, improving photosynthesis and ultimately increasing plant yield. Cultivators can also leverage Vyne in greenhouses with lower ceilings where top light installation is limited.
The launch of Fluence’s intercanopy lighting solution follows the completion of extensive research in collaboration with Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands as well as multiple grower trials.
Fluence will review results from its collaborative trials during a webinar on March 17, 2022, entitled “Intercanopy Lighting Research: Impact of Light Distribution on Tomatoes and Cucumbers.” To register for the webinar, click here.
