The flexible far-red option allows growers to have the far-red on or off depending on crop variety, production stage, or at a specific part of the day.
Heliospectra AB (publ) expands product portfolio and MITRA platform with MITRA Flex, the market’s first available wireless controlled flexible far-red light. The new solutions offer customers three spectra in one without losing power, making it perfect for customisable and application-based growing, such as end-of-day or end-of-production light treatments with far-red, or to ensure a healthy crop year-round also in low light seasons.
MITRA Flex allows growers to use targeted crop strategies with its flexible far-red by combining three spectra in one – PAR, PAR plus Far-Red, and Far-Red Only – without losing power. In addition, the flexible far-red option allows growers to have the far-red on or off depending on crop variety, production stage, or at a specific part of the day.
In addition, to further adapt to each crop and plant growth stage, MITRA Flex comes with wireless dimming and can be connected to Heliospectra’s light control system helioCORE for dynamic DLI control, dimming and to create grow-zone strategies for different varieties or areas.
“MITRA Flex application-driven approach supports our mission to Redefine Natures Potential and optimise crop performance and production for growers. Combining that with our SMART software and a robust wireless communication protocol, growers can gain not only faster production and more healthy crops using the far-red, but gain substantial energy savings by not using the lights when not needed,” says Bonny Heeren, CEO, Heliospectra.
