Horticulture of lettuce (lactuvasativa l.) using red and blue led with pulse lighting treatment and temperature control in snap hydroponics setup
Amado, Timothy M1, Valenzuela, Ira C2, Orillo, John William F3.
Among the major concerns of agricultural production includes food safety, environmental
impact, efficient energy usage and climate change. To give response to this, the paper
introduced the devised indoor farming methodology that utilized red and blue lightemitting
diode (LED) as light source for the horticulture of lettuce in Simple Nutrient Addition
Program (SNAP) hydroponics setup. The study focused on the evaluation of two
experimental setups comparing the conventional SNAP hydroponics to the SNAP
hydroponics using LED lights. At the end of the main experiment, the results suggested that
LED as light source have a significant effect on the number of leaves (t (41.7) = 6.07, p <
0.05) and leaf area (t (48) = 4.39, p = 0.05) of a lettuce. Specifically, the results showed that
when the environment of the lettuce was controlled, their capability to grow significantly
more and larger leaves increases. Also, the weight obtained using the SNAP with LED lights
setup (3.04 kg) was 30% greater than the weight obtained using conventional (2.18 kg)
hydroponics setup.
