White LED Lighting Increases the Root Productivity of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer in a Hydroponic Cultivation System of a Plant Factory

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

Today, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, which has high economic value, is cultivated for the purpose of using the shoot as well as the root, which is better known as the medicinal properties. However, when ginseng is grown outdoors, the quantity and quality of the crop are negatively affected by the climatic environment. In this study, we compared and analyzed the physiological and growth responses of P. ginseng under different LED spectra in a plant factory to achieve continuous and increased productivity. Red and yellow light effectively increased shoot biomass, whereas white light effectively increased root biomass. Furthermore, the intercellular CO2 partial pressure was identified as the most significant physiological variable contributing to root production. Research
