Winter vegetables under the lights

摘要

Most vegetable growers start planning their winter cucumber crops in October, so now is a good time to suggest some guidelines for production.Tomatoes and peppers are grown as one long crop. Many growers start using lights on these crops when natural light starts to go below 500 joules and duration of light is less than 12 hours. At this time supplemental lights are primarily used for cucumbers, although tomato and pepper seedlings are also grown under light in early phase of their growth.
