Luc is convinced that the quality of the mini-vine cherry tomatoes will become even better with the installation of the new growth lights He is already cautiously positive about the first results: "We see that the plant is growing well but of course we would like to see the sales increase So we can only draw a definite conclusion at a later stage." Further expansion not excludedBut it's not just about quality and sales: "LED lamps are of course increasingly popular because they are much more energy-efficient With Signify's grow lights we get twice as much light with the same power input In view of the current exciting energy market that is advantageous but what we also find important is sustainability We are taking big steps in that area too with this investment," says Luc this is also the motivation to further expand with LED lighting at the other locations in the future For more information:Roots Growers [email protected] www.rootsgrowers.nl  FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 HortiDaily.com Police in the Netherlands captured three Dutch suspects wanted in connection with the kidnapping and torture of a 24-year-old in Spain and a British suspect was arrested in the United Kingdom The suspects have been on the run for seven months since the violent crime took place said the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) Spanish authorities suspect the trio of "kidnapping and torturing a young Dutchman in May 2023 in Fuengirola The 24-year-old victim was held and abused for hours," the OM said and made deep cuts in his feet with a knife They left him unconscious in a remote area."
