Osram has developed a research luminaire to meet the growing demands of researchers at universities , private institutes and industrial plant production in glasshouse and vertical farms . Researchers and modern agriculturists can expend the LED - establish plant luminaire system Phytofy RL in the science laboratory or in climatic chambers in gild to get Modern works - specific light and growth recipes . These recipes can go to desired outcomes in industrial plant calibre , production and spirit .
Each of the six spiritual channel can be addressed severally with Phytofy RL and the intensity plan and wield precisely in real fourth dimension .
Selective intervention"Various light wavelength and intensities set aside selective treatment in the metabolic processes of agricultural crop and ornamental crops " , Claudia Zehnpfennig , Global Product Manager with Osram excuse . " takings , colouration and penchant as well as other features can be influenced in this way . The latest enquiry shows that not only is this process impacted by photosynthetically participating radiation ( PAR ) – in the range of 400 to 700 nanometers ( nm ) – but that brusk and longer wavelengths also work flora development . "
With Phytofy RL , six spectral channel – from a natural far - red end - of - day light to UV igniter – can be address individually and the photosynthetic pic flux tightness ( PPFD ) design and controlled precisely in real time : 385 nm , 450 nm , 521 nm , 660 Land of Enchantment , 730 Land of Enchantment as well as a warm white channel with 2,700 Kelvin . At the same time , the with child routine of light-emitting diode in the fixture allows a high-pitched photosynthetic photon fluxion ( PPF ) .

Light recipesAccording to Claudia , the extremely undifferentiated light distribution is a particular feature of the organization . " The calibrated system what is more ply a accurate irradiance mathematical function , calculated by the software with no quantum magnetic field measurements require . Use of Phytofy RL allows for evaluation of the most varied light recipes , without let to deepen luminaires between single tests . Diverse compounding of wavelength also can be programmed , in unlike light profile and across the intact photoperiod . " In addition , users get five unclouded formula watch over enrolment , which have been specially develop by Osram .
Use of Phytofy RL allows the researchers to evaluate the most wide-ranging light recipes , without have to change luminaires between individual tests .
Climate chambersThe organisation software system was developed by Osram together with plant life scientist and can be used intuitively via the graphical user interface . Manufacturers of climate chamber benefit too , with integration possible in their systems . " The plane and robust purpose ( 667 x 299 x 44 mm , just under 9 kilos ) is optimize for vertical farms , rack systems and growth chambers . "
Phytofy RL is already being used byNASAandMichigan State University . Osram is using it to carry out enquiry of growth , anthocyanins and taste , conducted in a climate chamber at the TU Munich .
