Effect of Supplemental Lighting from Different Light Sources on Growth and Yield of Strawberry

Effects of Long-Day Treatment Using Fluorescent Lamps and Supplemental Lighting Using White LEDs on the Yield of Cut Rose Flowers

“…In these products, the distribution of luminous intensity is controlled by the lenses, which enables us to supply plant parts with sufficient white light for supplemental lighting at close range. It has been reported that supplemental lighting using these products affects the growth of horticultural crops, including sweet pea (Furufuji et al 2010), potted miniature rose (Furufuji et al 2011) and strawberry (Hidaka et al 2013 …”

Twofold Increase in Strawberry Productivity by Integration of Environmental Control and Movable Beds in a Large-scale Greenhouse

“…The experiment without elevated CO2 and TA treatment was also conducted in the movable bed system from October 2012 to May 2013 (2012 fiscal year). Supplemental lighting was provided employing the same light-emitting diode (LED) system described previously (Hidaka et al, 2013;2014b;. This system consisted of an LED lamp unit (LLM0312A, Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) coupled to an exclusive power supply (LLP0019A, Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.).…”

“…These factors are affected by the environment (e.g., light intensity, photoperiod, temperature, CO2 concentration, humidity, and wind velocity) and the genetic potential of each cultivar. In our previous studies, we explored the development of a supplementary lighting technique, i.e., selection of an effective light source (Hidaka et al, 2013) and determination of the optimum photoperiod for supplemental lighting (Hidaka et al, 2014b). Furthermore, we compared the effect of supplemental lighting among cultivars and observed a remarkable increase in yield in the June-bearing cultivar 'Benihoppe' .…”

Dynamics of Photosynthate Loading in Strawberries Affected by Light Condition on Source Leaves

“…We have cultivated 6 strawberry plants for each processing treatment with 90% shading on the shaded treatment by using the cheesecloth and under natural light on the control treatment. For the LED supplemented treatment, we have provided LED lamp unit (LLM0312A) coupled to an external power supply (LLP0019A, Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., Japan) at the height of 30 cm from the plant bases for ensuring sufficient amount of lights for growing strawberries (Hidaka et al, 2013). The LED units have been applied for 12 h from 6:00 to 18:00.…”
