Greenhouse and nursery plant production relies on the availability of quality water for irrigation and often involves the use of supplemental lighting to enhance the quality and growth of the plants being produced. Increasing energy costs and more frequent water shortages associated with changing demographics, water use legislation, and climate factors have inspired growers to consider more sustainable approaches to utilizing resources such as water and energy. Precise, crop-specific water and light recommendations are essential to help growers make more sustainable production decisions.
