Bonus Webinar- Project LAMP Students Lighting Talks on GLASE Webinar Series
Title: Lighting Approaches to Maximize Profit (LAMP) graduate student lightning talks (May/16/2024)
Project LAMP is a USDA-funded multi-institutional project with a broad goal of better understanding crop lighting needs to help CEA growers reduce production costs, while giving them more control over crop growth and quality. This webinar featured fast-paced talks from five graduate students researching different areas of plant lighting. Topics addressed included: integrating temperature and light control, assessing the environmental impact of LED fixtures, using chlorophyll fluorescence sensors to control supplemental lighting, end-of-day far-red lighting, and the interactive effects of far-red and daily light integral on petunias. We ended the webinar with a time for Q&A with all presenters.
