Abstract
Plant production and propagation under controlled environment, such as in greenhouses, micropropagation systems and Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) applications are important. However, current light sources do not provide a completely satisfactory solution. Thus, development of a new light source for plant growth is needed. Because of the improvement in intensity and the development of blue light emitting diodes (LEDs), the application to plant growth has become a realistic approach. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the latest high-intensity LEDs as a light source for plant growth. Light intensity as a function of current and spatial distribution was measured.
