Disclosed are various embodiments for a mobile rig configured to control a photoperiodic response of a photoperiodically sensitive plant subject (e.g., a short-day plant) planted in an open field. The mobile rig includes a support structure; wheels; and light sources attached to the support structure at a position for emitting light on an upper surface of the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject. The mobile rig includes or is coupled to a control circuit having processing circuitry configured to cause the mobile rig to navigate across an open field having the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject planted therein and selectively illuminate the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject using the light sources attached to the mobile rig, for instance, during nighttime hours in a wavelength range between approximately 250 nm and approximately 800 nm to control the photoperiodic response of the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject planted therein.

Rigs for illuminating fields and methods of illuminating plants

Disclosed are various embodiments for an irrigation rig () comprising a plurality of light sources () and methods of illuminating short-day plants. As described herein, a mobile irrigation rig () may comprise a plurality of light sources () attached to a support arm of the mobile irrigation rig (), wherein the plurality of light sources () are configured to emit light on a subject during a mobile or stationary operation of the irrigation rig (). The irrigation rig (), using the plurality of light sources (), may illuminate a short-day plant with light to control a bloom or a flowering of a plant subject.
