Supplemental lighting in greenhouses can increase crop growth, improving rates of greenhouse production. The advent of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for photosynthetic lighting presents new opportunities for optimising greenhouse supplemental lighting control. Because LED light intensity can be contr...
