Evaluation of the influence of light at the same total intensity (photon flux density, or PFD) using three different types of white LEDs, combined with light from red LEDs, while keeping the blue PFD constant in kale and lettuce.
Discussion of the consequences of lowering greenhouse air temperature including slower rooting during propagation and longer crop production time.
Discussion of the specific functions of transpiration, as well as the different cultural and environmental factors in controlled environments that can influence the process.
