Introduction: Artificial lighting has revolutionized indoor gardening by providing a reliable and controllable environment for plants to thrive. Unlike traditional outdoor gardening, which depends on natural sunlight, indoor gardeners can now simulate ideal growing conditions year-round. This techno...
Introduction: • LED is short for light emitting diode. • Electric current passing through semiconductor diodes the “die” glows a colour depending on its chemical components. • The die sits in a reflective cup to direct the light outward through an epoxy lens. An LED grow light consists of many diode...
BONSAI : The word bonsai comes from the Japanese ‘bon’ meaning pan, and ‘sai’, a plant. It is the art of dwarfing and shaping trees or shrubs, growing them in small shallow pots or trays so that they remain miniature replicas of their natural counterparts in the wild. Bonsai is true miniaturization...
Introduction: Cotton is an essential crop worldwide, used as a raw material for the textile industry and other products. However, cotton’s productivity is affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as insect pests, diseases, drought and high temperatures. Breeding programs have played a v...
Abstract : Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) production of medicinal plants is a proposed way to increase the availability of standardised, phytochemically uniform or enhanced raw materials for plant-based medicines. This thesis explored the status of medicinal plants within this modern era o...
Abstract: Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) has emerged as a significant technological advancement in the cultivation of medicinal plants, offering potential benefits in scalability and cost-effectiveness. This article explores the feasibility of CEA systems for growing medicinal plants, anal...
Abstract: Seed production for high-value crops, such as medicinal herbs, specialty vegetables, and exotic fruits, is critical for ensuring consistent quality and supply. With the advent of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and the increasing use of artificial lighting systems, there is an opp...
Abstract : The purpose of this research is to build artificial grow light using LED for growing leafy vegetables from germination to harvesting (vegetative growth). Plants need to capture photons as energy for photosynthesis in 400nm – 780nm spectrum. Different plant species will respond differently...
In conventional plant breeding, after making crosses between desired parents, selection and screening for the desired traits along with generation advancement of the selected material is time consuming and thus 8-10 years are required for development of new variety. This slow improvement rate is att...
Light is one of the most crucial factors in the successful growth and fruiting of plants. Optimizing light conditions can significantly enhance photosynthesis, boost plant health, and increase fruit yield and quality. This article explores various strategies to maximize light efficiency for fruiting...
Introduction: Do Plants Really Need UV Lights? There’s some debate about whether UV light is important for plants. Some growers even question if ultraviolet light is useful in plant cultivation at all.The truth is, if you’re growing plants indoors, you should give them some UV light.We’ll explain ev...
In the pursuit of selecting an optimal LED grow light, individuals often encounter technical terms such as PAR, PPE, PPF, PPFD, and DLI.
