Boosting Pepper Yields with LED Lighting in Saline Irrigation Environments

Agricultural researchers at the UPCT have developed a portable prototype of LED lights designed to enhance greenhouse crop yields, particularly under conditions of saline irrigation. The study, which focused on pepper crops, demonstrated that applying light pulses at specific phenological stages improved production in plants treated with LED light compared to control groups. The prototype features adjustable lighting equipment with an articulated arm for versatile use, aiming for autonomy to assist nurserymen and farmers. Supported by a €30,000 grant from the Seneca Foundation, the researchers are working on refining application protocols and enhancing the device’s functionality. The team includes several researchers and is collaborating with the lighting company Secom to promote the adoption of this technology in agriculture.
