Why PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) and spectrometry are essential for horticulture
In contemporary horticulture, precision and optimisation play a crucial role to maximise crop yields, improve crop quality and make efficient use of raw materials and resources. Measuring Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and performing spectrometric analyses are vital for these goals. Below, we explain why these aspects are so important for horticulture, and how they contribute […]
What is the difference between Lumen, Lux and PAR?
Within the light spectrum, Lumen, Lux and PAR are one of the best-known terms when it comes to light measurement. Yet it is important to know the difference, as one is not a substitute for the other. They are stand-alone terms that are hugely important when determining light output in offices, sports venues or horticultural […]
