Like red light, blue light is also one of the necessary spectra for plant growth, and it has very important optical significance for plant growth. Its biological dosage is second only to red light. This is why the ratio of LED plant lights is based on red light beads and blue light beads.
(1) The role of blue light of LED plant lights
Blue light inhibits plant stem elongation, promotes plant chlorophyll synthesis, promotes plant nitrogen assimilation and protein synthesis, and is beneficial to the synthesis of plant antioxidant substances.
The main role of LED plant light blue light in plant light morphology is to affect the phototropism of plants, promote the establishment of plant morphology, promote the opening of plants stomata, and promote the efficiency of photosynthesis within a certain range.
(2) The meaning of blue LED plant light
Increase plant dry matter quality, dry matter quality = photosynthesis dosage-cell respiration. Dry matter quality has the most direct relationship with light and leaf area. Insufficient light will reduce the photosynthesis dosage. If the leaf area is too large, the cell respiration will increase. , The leaf area is too small, although it can reduce the cell respiration, but the leaf area is not conducive to the smooth progress of plant photosynthesis. Generally speaking, the page area index is the most ideal for five functions.
The blue light of LED plant lights increases seed yield. For wheat and corn lights, the main harvest is to harvest their seeds. Appropriately increasing the blue light of LED plant lights can greatly promote the yield of their seeds.
Example effects: inhibit the growth of loose-leaf lettuce stems; shorten the spacing of sugarcane equal nodes; increase wheat yield.
Excessive blue light is not conducive to plant growth and development, and lack of blue light is also not conducive to plant growth and development. Only when red light and blue light are reasonably used in different growth periods of different plants can the plants grow in the best growth state.
