to research the effects of controlling light spectrum on plant responses in horticulture applications. Lumenari_x000D_
produces high-efficiency LED lighting systems for horticulture applications that feature a number of important_x000D_
innovations, including light spectrum control and internet of things (IoT) technology. Lumenari seeks to_x000D_
conduct research into how controlling spectrum ratios in their lighting systems may help growers optimize_x000D_
plant growth or other characteristics. Data from this project will help the company research, develop and_x000D_
commercialize new LED lighting systems that are customizable to individual plant crops, and will also help_x000D_
their clients maximize plant growth using LED lighting systems._x000D_
This project will involve faculty and students from the College's Horticulture Technician and Agribusiness_x000D_
program in Quesnel. This project will be integrated into the course curriculum and will help teach students_x000D_
about emerging technologies that allow for year-round food production in cold climates, as well as data_x000D_
collection and applied research. Economic diversification and hi-tech agriculture are emerging priorities in_x000D_
northern BC, and this project will help develop skillsets in our students to contribute to these priorities., program purpose french : Lumenari BioSciences Ltd. and the College of New Caledonia are collaborating on an applied research project_x000D_
