Microgreen is an emerging agricultural food product that its development can be close type system and rely on the presence of artificial lighting, such as LED. Present study aimed to sum up the artificial LED lighting impact on microgreen production. In general, there were three important variables of light for plant, i.e., light intensity, light duration/photoperiod and light quality. The effect of different LED color on microgreen yield and phytochemical content is also revealed in present review. The red, blue, combination of red and blue, green, white, yellow and UV-A light are numerous choice for optimal microgreen production. However, there is no one-to-all recommendation here, since the LED light suitability is depending upon the plant species and target of market.
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.
