Volume 5, Issue 1 , June 2018, , Pages 123-132

https://doi.org/10.22059/ijhst.2018.261042.248

Abstract
  Light is the driving force for plant photosynthesis. Different attributes of light (e.g. intensity, spectrum and duration) can influence plant growth and development. We studied growth and photosystem II performance ofEnglish marigold cut flowers under red (635-665 nm) and white (420-700 nm) LEDs. Although ...  Read More
