Dynamic Application of High and Low Red:Blue Ratios During Lettuce Development Shifts Growth and Metabolite Allocation
Plants respond to light spectrum in different ways. When using red:blue (R:B) lighting during cultivation, high R:B can increase plant growth and carbohydrates. Conversely, low R:B can increase phyto...
