These studies suggest that increasing light intensity, particularly with blue and far-red wavelengths, in vertical farming improves plant growth, productivity, and quality, while optimizing energy use and enhancing nutritional content.
Vertical farming is an innovative agricultural method that allows for the cultivation of crops in controlled indoor environments, often using artificial light sources such as LEDs. Light intensity and spectrum are critical factors in optimizing plant growth, productivity, and quality in vertical farming systems.
Impact of Light Intensity on Plant Growth and Morphology:
Optimal Light Intensity and Photoperiod:
Light Spectrum Effects:
Energy Efficiency and Light Management:
Postharvest Quality:
Vertical farming systems benefit significantly from optimized light intensity and spectrum. Higher light intensities generally improve plant growth and yield, while specific light spectra, particularly blue and red, enhance phytonutrient content and overall plant health. Efficient light management, including intermittent lighting and appropriate photoperiods, can reduce energy costs without compromising plant quality. Additionally, preharvest light conditions can affect postharvest quality, highlighting the importance of tailored light recipes for different crops and growth stages.
