MASTER GreenPower natural daylight
Figure 1 shows an example of how natural daylight is supplemented with MASTER
GreenPower during winter. In this example plants are illuminated with 105 μmol/m2.s
GrowthLight (= circa 8000 lux) during 20 hours/day from November until February.
In the remaining lighting period the operating hours is less.

2. Photoperiodic lighting
Formanyplantsthemomentoffloweringisdeterminedbythe
lengthofthelightperiod.Theuseofartificiallightforcontrolof

andlong-dayplantscanbecultivatedallyearround.Forexample,
verygoodresultshavebeenachievedwithphotoperiodiclightingof
chrysanthemum,euphorbiapulcherrimaandkalanchoeaswellaswith
gypsophiliaandcarnations.
Themostcommonwaysofinfluencingthedaylengthare:
• withGrowthLight(alsogrowthtakesplaceduringtheday
prolongationperiod)or
• withalowdoseoflight,primaryforflowerregulation

Research to improve knowledge is essential. Philips supports several research
projects that study the process of plant growth in relation to light. Leading
universities in Europe and the USA, together with several growers and
luminaire suppliers, have helped us to determine the most efficient lighting
solution for ornamental crops and vegetables. Our international contacts ensure
that our level of expertise is as broad as possible. A number of commercial
growers with different crops allow us to test new concepts over lifetime. This
approach means that new or adapted light sources are intensively evaluated by
international experts as well as being tested in practice.
