Evaluating Photosynthetically Active Radiation with Fluence LED Systems for Increased Photosynthesis "LEDs are causing paradigm shifts in our understanding of photobiology" - Dr. Bruce Bugbee, Ph.D. Department of Plants, Soils and Science; Utah State University For far too long, outdated research has limited horticulturalists’ understanding of photosynthetically...
Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on board the RV Falkor, NASA Senior Research Scientist Ryan Vandermeulen is investigating the rates of biological activity among microbial communities in the ocean with a new adaptation to an instrument called a photosynthetron. The photosynthetron is...
Fluence announces its formal membership with the Association for Vertical Farming, an organization that advance urban & vertical farming technologies...
Colorado-based Leech has spent many years studying medicinal cannabis, always toting his camera to create the stunning images that help him with his research....
One of Leech’s most interesting discoveries was that the trichomes were all unusually uniform. He was seeing a surprisingly high number of capitate stalks and dense formations — very good things, he says....
As a controlled environment agriculture consultant for many years, Lindsley has a breadth of experience working with a variety of growing concerns...
Researchers at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences turned to red light as a method of containing BDM....
The degree of leaf rolling and the relative humidity of leaf micro-domains in red light-treated plants compared to the dark treated BDM infected plants may provide useful information to understand the effect of red light on humidity. ...
In his experiments, Gauthier applies various light intensities to plant leaves to enhance photosynthesis and then analyze the gases coming in and out of the chamber where the leaf stands to assess its overall ability to uptake and release carbon....
When you look at the efficacy of the electrical input vs. photon input, the low maintenance requirements and the reduction of heat output per electrical watt input, Fluence LEDs just make sense,” says Hoffman....
