LIGHT IS THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR IN CULTIVATION
What does this mean?
Essentially light is the greatest affecting factor in photosynthesis.
As light intensity increase, the rate of photosynthesis will also increase.
This positive trend will continue until reaching a plateau as a result of another limiting factor.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) & temperature are also limiting factors.
Why is light the main factor?
Temperature & CO2 are critical factors, but they are measured on a single unit basis (ie. 23°C & 1,200PPM)
The reasoning behind light being the main factor is simple, but based in it’s complexity.
Light is the most diverse affecting factor. While it’s intensity can be measured by the amount of PAR light (PPFD), this measurement doesn’t tell the whole story. The detail is found in the range of spectra correlated with the intensity.
When examining light as a factor we need to identify:
i. what the light source is
ii. the spread of PAR light in the given area, as quantity.
iii. the variety of that light or wavelength(s), as quality.
