Abstract

We present the results of two modes of illumination of microgreens when growing with photoperiod/ intensity ratios of 8/200 and 16/100 under equal daylight integrals. The modes of operation of the lighting system had different effects on both types of microgreens. A short photoperiod with high light intensity is a promising lighting mode that will allow the use of night hours of electricity consumption at low cost.
