The purpose of this study was to determine the role of various LED (light-emitting diode) light units in ensuring high-quality growth and development of plants, as well as to obtain high-quality seedlings of strawberries and ground cover rose. We studied the physiological reactions of garden strawberry (“Melga” variety) and ground cover rose (“Fairy” variety) plants under controlled conditions and obtained the data on the effect of light quality on plant biological productivity, dynamics of growth processes, photosynthesis rate and transpiration. Regardless of the type of studied crops, the tallest plants were obtained under conditions of supplementary lighting by the lamp with blue/green/red ratio in the spectrum 17/29/54 % (option 1) and the lamp with ratio 18/45/37 % (option 2). At the same time, the dry weight of leaves and roots, as well as the biological productivity of strawberry plants in experimental options 1 and 2 exceeded by 41% than in the control plants (under high pressure sodium lamp). For garden strawberry we recommend the LED in the option 2, for the ground cover rose optimal is the option 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
