The MITRA X FLEX solution offers a flexible far-red spectrum, providing three spectra in one without losing power. The flexible far-red spectrum makes it ideal for customizable and application-based cultivation, such as light treatments with far-red at the end of the day or at specific times during production. The lights are controlled by Heliospectra&#8217;s control system helioCORE and PAR sensors are installed. The installation will be used for a variety of research applications, with current research being conducted on behalf of the LED FR project. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1125574217\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1101890024\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1631048802\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-1024x690.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Mitra X Flex ge\u00efnstalleerd bij Agrotopia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-2048x1381.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204173129-1-min-800x539.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1631048802 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-706299927\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1428794553\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Mitra X Flex ge\u00efnstalleerd bij Agrotopia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG20231204163456-min-scaled-e1720699988261-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1428794553 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-945989303\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-&#091;20px&#093; text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words &#091;.text-message+&amp;&#093;:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"fbfa4f29-ec71-4885-8c11-9feb4996dfaf\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-&#091;3px&#093;\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW40706908 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #193330;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun CommentStart CommentHighlightPipeRestV2 CommentHighlightRest SCXW40706908 BCX8\">Revolutionizing Plant Growth with Flexible Spectrum Lighting<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Bert Deruyck, a horticultural innovation researcher at Inagro, is one of the users of the dynamic installation. He emphasizes the significant benefits of having the flexibility to tune the spectrum in terms of intensity and spectral composition. According to Deruyck, this capability is invaluable for exploring the potential of dynamic lighting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><em>\u201cIn the current horticulture research landscape, a lot of efforts are made to explore the potential of dynamic steering of the lights. On the one hand, it&#8217;s used to optimize the energy strategy, and on the other, it taps into the physiological needs of a plant,\u201d<\/em> he explains. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\">This flexibility is especially valuable for far-red research, as the physiological effects targeted by applying far-red are often growth-stage specific.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\">Deruyck also highlights the advantages of the integrated far-red and PAR in one module. Unlike classical systems that often use add-on far-red modules next to existing PAR modules, the integrated approach eliminates the need for extra wiring and hardware components. This streamlined setup prevents additional parts from being installed above the plants, which can obstruct natural sunlight, thereby maintaining optimal conditions for plant growth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-2123741583\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-330137111\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_317960451\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-681x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Mitra X Flex ge\u00efnstalleerd bij Agrotopia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-1363x2048.jpg 1363w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-300x451.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-800x1202.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Z6N_4342-min-scaled.jpg 1703w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_317960451 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1088130905\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1682576272\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Bert, agrotopia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/INA_4627-min-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1682576272 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-3863460285\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 100%; color: #193330;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #00a67d;\">Bert Deruyck,<\/span> <br><\/strong>horticultural innovation researcher at Inagro<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3863460285 {\n  font-size: 0.75rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-&#091;20px&#093; text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words &#091;.text-message+&amp;&#093;:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"fbfa4f29-ec71-4885-8c11-9feb4996dfaf\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-&#091;3px&#093;\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<h3><span style=\"color: #193330;\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW222434055 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222434055 BCX8\">&nbsp;Advanced Light Strategies with <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW222434055 BCX8\">helioCORE<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW222434055 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\">Bert Deruyck points out the usefulness of the helioCORE system in managing lighting strategies.

This method is always more accurate than relying solely on measurements from a rooftop meteorological station. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #193330;\">He elaborates, <em>\u201cEspecially with the use of different greenhouse covers and different screen materials and screen usage, it is very informative to know how light sums are evolving.
