Understanding Photoperiodic Lighting
Introduction Photoperiodic lighting is a method of managing light exposure to influence the growth and development of plants. This practice is essential in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), horticulture, and floriculture, where the natural photoperiod—the duration of light and darkness in a day—is modified to suit specific plant requirements. Importance of Photoperiod in Plants Plants rely […]
