Insufficient exposure to light in the winter may result in a longer production periods and lower quality of seedlings in greenhouses for plug growers. Supplementary artificial lighting to plug seedlings may be one solution to this problem. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of...

Two tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivars 'Dafnis' and 'Cluster' were grown in a high-tech glasshouse at the National Research and Development Center for sustainable agriculture (ESTIDAMAH), Riyadh, Saudia Arabia during the 2017-2018 season to evaluate the effect of supplementary light on tomato...

In order to explore the effects of a new type of UV multispectral supplement light on the growth of succulents, the succulent varieties Crassula capitella, Sedeveria pink ruby and Cotyledon tomentosa were used as test materials, on which three treatments with UV multispectral supplementary light...

Insufficient light in autumn-winter may prolong the production periods and reduce the quality of plug seedlings grown in greenhouses. Additionally, there is no optimal protocol for supplementary light strategies when providing the same amount of light for plug seedling production. This study was...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is a major floricultural crop, cultivated widely for cut flowers. This study was conducted to determine the optimal supplementary light source for the cutting propagation of carnation 'Dreambyul' cuttings. Terminal cuttings were propagated in a glasshouse with...

During the autumn/spring "off" season, yield and quality of tomatoes are often affected by insufficient CO₂ and low light in greenhouse production. Although tomato is one of the most widely cultivated vegetables, few studies have investigated the interactive effects of supplementary light and CO₂...

Objective: The study aimed to select the LED light source suitable for tomato grafting healing by studying the survival rate of grafted tomato seedlings under different LED light sources and the response of seedling physiological indexes, which could provide reference for the selection of...

For the identification of tomato seedlings under low light stress and the recovery of supplementary light, seedlings of the cultivars Liaoyuan Duoli, Yuanyi L-404 and strawberry tomato were selected as experimental objects. Through artificial simulation of the low light environment of the...

This paper presents the results of field studies conducted in Ningxia, China, in 2019, to determine the effect mechanism of different light quality supplementation on the bud burst of grape in the molecular level. Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the light response related genes in the...

Supplemental lighting can be applied in the greenhouse to obtain high-quality seedlings when the solar daily light integral (DLI) is insufficient. However, there is no optimal strategy for the supplementary light provided by white and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with the same DLI in cucumber...
