Filtering Light-Emitting Diodes to Investigate Amber and Red Spectral Effects on Lettuce Growth

Red and blue light are the principal wavelengths responsible for driving photosynthetic activity, yet amber light (595 nm) has the highest quantum efficiency and amber-rich high pressure sodium lamps result in superior or comparable plant performance. On this basis, we investigated how lettuce plant...
