The increase of competitiveness on the market through the implementation of product, process, technological and marketing innovation related to tomato

Wzrost konkurencyjności na rynku poprzez wdrożenie innowacyjności produktowej, procesowej, technologicznej i marketingowej związanej z produkcją pomidorów w gospodarstwie ogrodniczym w Dziecinowie.

The expected results of the research assume that the use of LED lamp lighting will allow, among other things, to significantly reduce the amount of heat emitted during the use of traditional sodium lamps at the same light intensity, which will have a significant impact on maintaining optimal cultivation parameters in the greenhouse object and provide better conditions for the growth and the yield of plants. The introduction of an additional factor in tomato cultivation, which is diffusion glass, will ensure a more favourable distribution of natural light for the plants, which is particularly important in autumn and winter cultivation. LED lighting and covering the roof of the greenhouse with diffusion glass will result in an increase in yield, a reduction in electricity consumption, as well as qualitative yield characteristics such as chemical composition, colour and size of the fruit and tasty. It is also important that the proposed technology of tomato cultivation is a sustainable production that makes optimal use of natural resources - energy, water, minerals, as well as eliminates the need for chemical plant protection products against phytophages. It responds to the growing market demands for quality and safety of plant production. An additional significant benefit is the saving of energy used in plant production, which makes the project have an additional positive impact on the natural environment.
