Optimal Light Intensity for Lettuce Growth, Quality, and Photosynthesis in Plant Factories.

ABSTRACT: In agriculture, one of the most crucial elements for sustained plant production is light. Artificial lighting can meet the specific light requirements of various plants. However, it is a challenge to find optimal lighting schemes that can facilitate a balance of plant growth and nutritional qualities. In this study, we experimented with the light intensity required for plant growth and nutrient elements. We designed three light intensity treatments, 180 μmol m^-2 s^-1 (L1), 210 μmol m^-2 s^-1 (L2), and 240 μmol m^-2 s^-1 (L3), to investigate the effect of light intensity on lettuce growth and quality. It can be clearly seen from the radar charts that L2 significantly affected the plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, and leaf ar
