Intensive crops

Production of Solanaceae (tomato, aubergine) and Cucurbitaceae (cucumber, melon) uninterrupted and guaranteed for 365 days a year, using customised light spectra according to crops. Produce shelf life is increased and greater plant compactness reduces manpower requirements.

Small Fruits

Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries are typically supper crops that require special care and lots of light. Thanks to LED lamps fruit growth can be regulated to obtain higher yields as well as firmer fruits, with brighter colouring which consequently are better sellers.

Ornamental plants

Roses, gerbera’s, chrystanthemums, tulips, poenies and daffodils are just some of the floricultural products that can be very succesfully grown thanks to the C-LED technology: longer stems with larger diameter, earlier, more homogeneous flowering, and more compact inflorescene.

Leafy vegetable

Leafy vegetable include lettuce, chicory, thyme, parsley, basil and other crops that are harvested at the time of maximum leaf growth. C-LED lamps ensure shorter production cycles, guaranteeing thriving production throughout the year and making it easier to control flowering.

Baby leaf

Baby leaf crops include plants of lettuce, rocket, spinach, corn salad, cabbage and many others normally sold once they have grown 3-5 true leaves, about 20-40 days after sowing. Early harvesting, to ensure a higher number of cycles per year, is one of the primary goals that the C-LED research activity aims at.

Algae

Growing algae suitable for human consumption suc as spirulina and chlorella, marketed as fresh or freeze-dried products, is a business not linked to a specific production season and highly appreciated by the food supplement industry. LED lamps speed up algal growth ensuring earlier harvest and at the same time, products rich in antioxidants.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms include several very popular varieties, such as pleurotus or champignon (button mushrooms). With C-LED, it is possible to achieve improved products characteristics, such as better size and a shorter waiting time between one harvest and the next.

Microgreen

Microgreens can be defined “baby” vegetables varieties as they are harvested as soon as they grow the first two true leaves, i.e. after about 7-20 days. The peculiarity of these crops is the very high levels of vitamins and antioxidants contained in their tissues, which, with C-LED lamps, can be up to 40 times higher than in traditional vegetables.

Hemp

Production of Hemp inflorescences for active principle extraction. C-LED offers solutions to ensure earlier production and shortening of plants internodes: this increases the amount of flowers and dry matetr of the harvested product resulting in lower drying costs and higher production yields.

Micropropagation

All the phases preceding field planting of micropropagated fruit plants are carried out in a completely sterile environment: cell multiplication, distension, rooting and finally, acclimatising, in order to obtain, with C-LED lamps, certified and virus-free material.
