Abstract

The effects of blue fluorescent lamp and blue LED (light emitting diode) on stem elonga- tion in Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.‘Reagan’ were studied to determine whether these light sources could be treated as equivalent.<BR>Cuttings of Chrysanthemum were grown in a growth chamber maintained at 20°C under photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of 150μCmol s-1m-2 on the canopy level with a 14h photoperiod and 4h night interruption. After three weeks,rooted cuttings were moved to another growth chamber at 5°C for one month, and then they were transplanted to φ9cm plastic pots and grown for another week under the same conditions at 20°C.<BR>Growth chamber experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of blue fluorescent lamp and blue LED on stem elongation of Chrysanthemum. Other environmental conditions were PPF of 80μCmol s-1m-2 with a 24h photo period and temperature of 20°C. Daily stem elongation was 15.2 mm under blue LED and 8.8 mm under blue fluorescent lamp. There was a significant difference between the two values. The major peak wave length of blue fluorescent lamp was 436 nm with a second peak at 546 nm. The second experiment was conducted to examine effect of 546 nm. A spectrum similar to that of blue fluorescent lamp was created using blue LED and another LED of 545 nm. Daily stem elongation under blue +545 nm green LED was 6.9 mm and 11 mm under blue LED. There was also a significant difference between these two values. It was shown that the experimental results obtained under blue fluorescent lamp and blue LED are not equivalent.
