Marjoland , one of the largest rose growers in the Netherlands , has achieved the highest quality and a high production for its Red Naomi ! Roses by using the dedicated rose light recipe for its intercrossed lighting installation provided by Signify ( Euronext : LIGHT ) , the world leader in lighting . antecedently , research has demonstrate that it was potential to either get a higher quality rose or amend the yield level of the harvest . Marjoland show improved yield and tone in its production installation with the intercrossed lighting setup .
“ With 20 % more luminosity we have a pregnant gamey production , with a more uniform quality . By using Signify ’s LED lighting , with the igniter spectrum especially designed for rosebush , we ’re able to lower our energy consumption and at the same time deliver a more homogeneous timber of pink wine to our customer all year around , ” says Daniel van den Nouweland , General Director at Marjoland .
With 20 hectare , Marjoland is one of the heavy growers in the Netherlands growing five varieties of roses . The family business decide to set out with light-emitting diode in a hybrid lighting setup - a combination of HPS and lead lighting - for its Red Naomi ! harvest , thereby increasing the light-colored level from 230 µmol / m2 / s to 330 µmol / m2 / s LED . Thanks to this combination of HPS / LED , Marjoland has uncover the mystery to producing the best quality rose at a mellow production spirit level to encounter its customer need . ThePhilips GreenPower LED toplighting compact and -linear , with the dedicated light recipe for roses , are usable with a very high efficacy of up to 3.2 µmol / s.
To develop the ultimate light recipe , separate trials were conducted atDelphyunder full light-emitting diode lighting . The research shows that the swooning formula has a electropositive influence on leaf tone and bud size . Moreover , the buds of the blush wine are over 50 mm in length and can be preserved for more than 10 mean solar day during winter . The number of stems is skilful , with about 6.2 stems per m2 per week . The improved output , consumption and efficaciousness of the modules combined give many opportunities for rose agriculturist to increase their light intensity and reduce electricity consumption while maintaining the right balance between production and quality .
“ We ’re very proud that our research in quislingism with Delphy andWURhas resulted in the successful rose light recipe for the Red Naomi ! . This give rose growers like Marjoland the chance to produce top class roses and increase their light level . The permutation to LED is even more interesting now either for use with an existing HPS set - up and trellis building , or for building a unexampled installing , ” state Udo van Slooten , Business Leader Horticulture at Signify .
