Photosynthesis is a process at the heart of plant production. For optimal growth, the required light energy must be of high quality (color, intensity, and uniformity). OPTECH’s role was to carry out the measurements and provide Pépinière Forestière de St-Modeste with an illumination mapping, as well as recommendations for the modernization of the lighting systems used in the greenhouses and growth carts.
