What are intracanopy lighting (ICL) towers?

Thus, the lighting cost per average fruit grown under the HPS-OHL lamps was 403% more than that of using LED-ICL towers. Although no increase in yield was measured using LED-ICL, significant energy savings for lighting occurred without compromising fruit yield. read more

The term that is more commonly used is interlighting. Its basically where you move light within the canopy of the crop allowing the lower leaves to continue to be photosynthetically active. read more
