Plants need a persistent energy source for growth and they receive it from light. Light influences
on plants’ "physiological, morphological, and biochemical" properties with its three aspects
"intensity, quality and length of radiation". Light is not the only source of photosynthesis but is
the important and influential signal of the growth stages of plants from germination to flowering.
Responses of plants to the light in the growth environment to the function of photosynthetic
pigments are different with the function of other pigments in the presence of different light
spectrums. Nowadays, grow light is recommended in production of greenhouse plants in order to
create favorable growth conditions for products. Recently, light emitting diodes called, LED,
have been proposed to optimize light dependent processes in plant products due to their benefits
such as longer lifetimes than other bulbs, generating special wavelengths, low energy
consumption, and the ability to adjust the intensity and quality of the light for different types of
plants. The present study was conducted by Saleh research Group to evaluate the effects of
different optical treatments on different growth processes of different plants.
In this article we will present the result as follows:
1. For the flowering process, white fluorescent composition is suitable.
2. For the fruit process in greenhouses; combination of yellow, white and red lights is
suitable.
3. For vegetative growth when the focus is on the growth of the plant leafs and stems, using
yellow light is proposed.
4. For ornamental plants growth, yellow light is preferred.
5. For growing of plants that their roots are used, combination of yellow and white light is
suitable.
6. For breeding and growing of beans, yellow light is suitable.
