Low-heat, full-LED trial on track to achieve higher yields and better quality in larger truss tomatoes

The mid-year results from the low-energy tomato trial initiated by Grodan and Philips Horticulture LED Solutions indicate that not only cherry tomatoes, but also larger truss tomatoes can be grown successfully with reduced heat input in a full-LED setup. Importantly, another major goal of this trial is to demonstrate to growers of Macxize XR (Axia seeds) how blotchy ripening (green spots), a troublesome potential quality issue in this high-yielding variety, can be reduced by adjusting the nutrient balance – specifically the potassium and nitrogen ratios.
