Dose-response of tomato fruit yield to far-red fraction in supplementary lighting by Elena Vincenzi, Aron Moehn, Emmanouil Katsadas, Sana Karbor, Esther de Beer, Frank Millenaar, Leo F.M. Marcelis, Ep Heuvelink

“…Fruit yield increases under additional FR were mostly associated with increased plant dry weight, with a small yet significant increase in the fraction of dry matter partitioned to the fruits. The radiation use efficiency (g fruit fresh weight mol−1) and electricity use efficiency of supplementary lighting (g fruit fresh weight kWh−1) decreased at higher FR fractions (0.44 and 0.49). …”
