Monitoring light levels in light deprivation greenhouses is essential for optimizing plant growth and ensuring consistent light exposure. One effective method is to use quantum sensors or photometers, which measure the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) that plants utilize for photosynthesis.
These sensors can be strategically placed throughout the greenhouse to provide real-time data on light intensity and distribution. Integrating automated monitoring systems can help track light levels continuously, allowing growers to make timely adjustments to shading or artificial lighting as needed.
