GLASE to hold webinar on maximizing profits with lighting techniques

Supplemental lighting is often necessary for year-round greenhouse production of ornamentals and vegetables. However, the cost of providing supplemental light is high. It is therefore important that supplemental light is provided in a way that provides the greatest benefits for the crop, at the lowest possible price. To do so, it is important to understand the cost of providing supplemental light as well as how plants use that light. Accurate weather predictions can help minimize the risk of providing more excess light than is required by a specific crop.

On April 16, from 2-3 p.m. EST, University of Georgia professor Marv van Iersel will discuss how to account for these factors to help grow high-quality, profitable crops.
