The role of light in the growth and development of plants.
Plant growth (photosynthesis) is not
then determined by lux or energy, but
by the photons from the blue to red
(400–700 nm) part of the spectrum.
This is called growth light!
For the human eye, light is the visible part of
electromagnetic radiation. Most lighting products
are developed for human application. For these
purposes, the intensity of visible light is expressed
in lux. Lux is a photometric unit and is based on
the average sensitivity of the human eye.
The sensitivity is maximized at green/yellow
(555nm) and declines towards longer (red)
and shorter (blue) wavelengths.A lux meter
is corrected for this specific eye sensitivity.
For horticulture, natural daylight (global radiation)
is in most cases measured in terms of energy
(J orW) with a solar meter.This meter is generally
positioned on top of the greenhouse.The value
of global radiation is important for climate and
humidity control in the greenhouse.
Growth Light
Plants have a completely different sensitivity for
colors of light than the human eye. For plant
growth, it is important to define light as small
light particles, also called photons or quantum.
The energy content of photons is different
depending on wavelength (color of light). For one
W of energy, almost twice as many red photons
can be produced compared to blue. In addition to
this, plants are most efficient using the red part of
the light and less efficient using the green and
blue part. In fact, we are dealing with a plant
sensitivity curve for growth light.
Micromol and PPF
Research, both at universities and applied
research stations, has demonstrated that the rate
of photosynthesis is determined by the amount of
photons between 400–700 nm. In scientific terms,
this growth light is called Photosynthetic Photon
Flux (PPF) and is the only reliable measure to clarify
if a light source is suitable for photosynthesis.The
higher the PPF value per Watt, the more efficient
the light source for plant growth.This is the reason
why Philips specifies the PPF value in micromols
per second (µmol/s) for all its light sources for
horticultural use. Philips Green Power and
Agrolite XT lamps are specially developed for
maximum growth light and for this reason, are
among the most efficient light sources available
for horticulture.

There are several ways in which artificial light can be used to improve and accelerate growth and extend
the growing season of commercial crops:
1 To supplement natural daylight and raise growth light levels in order to enhance photosynthesis and
thereby improve growth and quality of plants in greenhouses (supplemental growth light)
2 To control the light period by extending the natural day length with artificial light (photoperiodic lighting)
3 To totally replace daylight with artificial light for ultimate climate control (cultivation without daylight)

Note: Best pr actice suggests grow lamps to be replaced at maximum
40% of their rated average life in order to maintain same level of
growth-light on plants over time .
* The micromol value expresses the amount of light par ticles (photons) between 400 and 700 nm that are sent out by a light source
(=Photosynthetic Photon Flux) per second.The amount that the plant
absorbs determines the rate of photosynthesis and as a result the
rate of plant growth.Therefore, the micromol value is also called
“growth-light.” In general, an increase of 22% in growth-light means an
increase of 22% in plant growth.
