The composition and quantity of light of the led high bay for strawberries has a decisive effect on the morphogenesis of the strawberry plant, improving its photosynthetic efficiency with the installation with led high bay for strawberries with an adequate color spectrum we will be able to improve its metabolism and focus the strawberry plant towards the productive development of more quantity of fruit, of greater size and quality.

MORE QUALITY STRAWBERRIES

Both in the cultivation of strawberries with LED lamps using hydroponic systems, as well as through organic sustenance, you can get an increase in the amount of total soluble solids (SST), such as fructose, glucose and sucrose, a lower level of acidity (AT), a more palatable red color, intense aromas.

Are important factors to offer a higher quality fruit, and with greater microbial resistance in its conservation.

How do you get this?

The effort in the perfect mix of different matches, which are the pigments in the AGRO-C P40 LED high bay for strawberries. responsible for transforming photonic energy into usable light, and aimed to providing the needs of the different photo-receptors of strawberry plants, will give as a result, a maturity index (IM), which together, with the improvement of color, flavor and aroma, will determine the excellent organoleptic quality of strawberries produced in farms, illuminated with the P40 spectrum of AGRO-C led high bay for strawberries.

What are the components of the led high bay for strawberries AGRO-C that activate and/or improve results in strawberry plants?

strawberry plants: The UV light of the LED high bay for the strawberry increases the production of antioxidants of the flavonoid type, it is a reaction of the strawberry plant, a natural mechanism of evolution created to protect itself from UV light.

One of the anti-oxidants that increases its concentration due to this natural defense system, is pelargonidine, an anthocyanidin, a type of plant pigment that increases the red color of strawberries. It is also effective in berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries

Between 390-490nm and 570-780nm: The red light, the far red, orange light and the blue light of the AGRO-C strawberry led spotlight are the main wavelengths that affect the accumulation of volatile and soluble compounds in plants of strawberry. . It also induces a greater accumulation of photosynthes in fruits, a process that is determined by the action of phytochrome.

The red and far red spectrum of the AGRO-C strawberry LED spotlight, increases gibberellin levels, being the most important factor in the regulation of plant growth and maturation, gibberellins such as auxins have a leading effect during fruit growth of strawberry, the dimensions of the fruit in relation to the width and its length, are influenced by the fringes in the range of red and far red, and from the state in which the strawberry fruit turns white, so far of the harvest, sugars increase rapidly and acidity (AT) is reduced.

During ripening it promotes a greater sensitivity of the strawberry fruit to the effect of ethylene and therefore, they ripen faster with contributions of distant red and red light.

Volatile compounds are chemical substances that contribute to providing the aroma and flavor released by plants. Volatile compounds are emitted chemicals that allow you to smell and taste fruit. These compounds are really important since they provide the flavor to strawberries.

Between 490-570nm: The high bay for strawberries AGRO-C maintains a balance with the green component, which helps to better penetration of the plant together with the yellow component of the spectrum that help to increase the weight of the fruits and the IM.

    Interesante información, estoy animado a sembrar fresa en una pequeña extensión y quedé meditando sobre esta publicación.

  • CONSULTA CAMPANAS FRESAS

    Buenas tardes, Soy un particular interesado en el cultivo de fresas en la terraza de mi casa. He podido ver que indican dos opciones: Campana P40 y P27 La terraza tiene 3x3 m., cual sería la opción más adecuada? Tengo orientación SW y nos dá el Sol (no en terraza completa) unas horas por la tarde. Verano de 15 a 19:30 y en invierno de 14 a 17:00. Más o menos. Es suficiente con una Campana, o harían falta 2? Agradecería sus comentarios y a ser posible indicaran precios. Gracias y un saludo.

    Replied by : Jordan Flores On 10/06/2022 Buenas tardes Eduard, Para el cultivo de fresas recomendamos el espectro P40, siendo casi idéntico al espectro P27, pero con aporte de rayos ultravioleta (UV - 385nm). Como indica el texto, este aporte incrementa los flavonoides, entre los que destacamos la pelargonidina, un tipo de pigmento que aumenta el color rojo del fruto resultante. Para un espacio de 3x3m, siendo para ayuda a un cultivo particular, serian necesarias seguro 2 luminarias. Te recomendaría 3 luminarias, pero siendo un espacio cuadrado el reparto de luz no sería uniforme. Generalmente hemos trabajado en invernaderos, donde su superficie rectangular equilibra más el reparto de luz.
