Blue, red and green light all make best light for plant growth
A plant's life cycle is directly influenced by sunlight, or artificial light in case it is grown indoors. While seven colors make up the sunlight, none of them is the best light for plant growth. Let's find out more on how to provide the best light for plant growth in case sunlight is insufficient or absent. This is the thing any farmer needs to know.
Effects of red, blue and green light on plants
Sunlight (also called 'white light') is made up of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, of which red, blue and green are the major colors.
Sunlight takes an important part in the plants life cycle
As per researchers, plants look green as they reflect off their green color into our eyes, therefore, they don’t absorb much green light. In contrast, leaves absorb the light spectrum of red and blue light and use them to grow, therefore they don’t usually appear blue or red.
Blue light has an effect on plants in their chlorophyll production. Receiving plenty of blue light helps plants have strong, healthy stems and leaves. Red light takes part in making plants flower and produce fruit. In the early life of plants as seed germination and root growth, red light is a necessary element.
Red light, blue light or green light for plants?
While outdoor plants in full sun will naturally receive enough red light, blue light and green light, indoor plants might be lacking in it, even if that plant is put next to a window.
Indoor plants normally will not receive enough sunlight
If a plant lacks green light, the color of the leaves may turn yellow. If it’s not blooming at a time, it’s probably lacking red light. Blue light effects the opening of stomata that control both water loss and the uptake of carbon dioxide.
Red light, blue light and green light are all important to plant growth. Adjusting the light intensity is necessary to reach the goal.
People can provide light to the plant by using LED light
We can supply light color to indoor plants by using LED grow light, which utilizes LED chips in a modern and efficient way to produce light. There are many shapes and sizes of LED grow light. It is important to understand which kind of LED grow light best fits the specific application to select the most suitable light for plant growth.
In conclusion, since the three light colors red, blue and green are all necessary to a plant, the key is our adjustment of the intensity of these light colors to helps plants grow well in line with farmers' purpose.
