Spectral composition of light and growing of plants in controlled environments

摘要

The main conclusions of many investigations about general requirements of plants for spectral composition of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) are based on phylogenetic aspects of plant growth. We think that these aspects are not the main criteria in choosing the spectral composition required for growing plants in controlled conditions. Our approach to this problem is based on plant and crop reaction under long duration growth with specific spectra and intensity. Only in this way can we determine correctly the role of light characteristics for developing crops.
