Supplementary LED Interlighting Improves Yield and Precocity of Greenhouse Tomatoes in the Mediterranean

Supplementary LED Interlighting Improves Yield and Precocity of Greenhouse Tomatoes in the Mediterranean

In Northern Europe, the use of light–emitting diodes (LEDs) is widely adopted in protected horticulture, enabling to enhance plant growth by ensuring needed radiative fluxes throughout seasons. Contrarily, the use of artificial lighting in Mediterranean greenhouse still finds limited applications. I...
