Light-Emitting Diodes for Horticulture

This chapter firstly describes the fundamental concepts of photosynthesis of plants and LEDs for applications in the plant factory with artificial lighting (PFAL). The complexity of light environment control to maximize the cost performance of the PFAL is discussed for getting an idea of smart LED lighting system related to phenotyping, information and communication technology, and artificial intelligence. Secondly, influences of LED lighting environment at seedling stage on lettuce transplant growth and its subsequent growth and nutritional values were discussed as a case study for supporting a good system impact. Therefrom, effects of light intensity, photoperiod and LED quality on growth and quality of hydroponic lettuce were introduced for suitable light environment control in the PFAL.
