Developing An Optimized Light Spectrum For Plant Growth And Development, Kevin Richard Cope
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a rapidly developing technology for plant growth lighting and have become a powerful tool for understanding the spectral effects of light on plants. Several studies have shown that some blue light is necessary for normal growth and development, but the effects of blue light appear to be species dependent and may interact with other wavelengths of light as well as photosynthetic photon flux (PPF). Here we report the photobiological effects of three types of white LEDs (warm, neutral and cool) on the growth and development of radish, soybean, and wheat. All species were grown at two …
