Light Consists of Three Dimensions
Light quantity (intensity)
Light quality (spectrum)
Light duration (photoperiod)
Plant biomass Morphology Flowering
The different properties of light interact to control growth and development of plants
Applications of LEDs on Plants
• Photoperiodic lighting in greenhousesvery low-intensity lighting to regulate flowering• Supplemental lighting in greenhousesmoderate-intensity lighting to supplement sunlight to increase growth• Sole-source lighting indoors (vertical tiers)moderate-intensity lighting that is the only light source

For LEDs, the efficiencies are rapidly improving
Efficiency of Supplemental Lighting
• Primarily an economic issue– LEDs are 3-6 times the cost of conventional lights
• Situations when LEDs could be more favorable:– High electricity costs and/or limited power supply– Can elicit specific growth/coloration responses– Year-round growing– Can position lights close to crop (vertically or
horizontally)

Mini Cucumber Experiences
Cucumbers supplied with Philips LED Interlighting will have a different growth habit and leaf size compared to non‐lit crops……
Notice how the leaves are more erect in the non‐lit plants than in the lit plants. Leaf area (size) is also larger in the non‐lit plants.
Mini Cucumber Experiences
Greatest percentage yield advantages are seen in Q4 and Q1 when sunlight values are lowest and fruit prices are highest.

• Increased productivity
• Increased plant density
• Tailored nutrition and cultural practices
• Tailored quality
• Winter production
Future of LED’s : High wire crops
• Shorten growth cycle
• Faster rooting
• Consistent plug quality
• Compact plugs
• More basal growth/branching
• Prominent pigmentation
• Less use of PGR’s
• Less use of chemicals
Floriculture crops : annuals and perennial plug production
• Plugs more compact than under HPS (looking to the height of the apical point) Actual height differences not calculated.

• Faster root development, possibility of early transplanting 3‐5 days depending on the cultivar
• Possible reduction in the cycle time from seeding till transplant
• Prominent leaf coloration highly desirable for certain cultivars of Sedum; considered as a good selling point for plant quality
