Effects of photoperiod with blue and red led on functional properties of Lactuca sativa cv. fire red under controlled environment / Emmelly Imbuh Ngilah
Application of Light Emitting Diode (LED) in agricultural sector has recently been studied for indoor vegetable and ornamental plants as a supplemental light source. Several studies had been carried out by researchers to explore the appropriate light spectrum for the optimum growth of specific plant...
