BLUE LIGHT
Blue light is more effective for plant growth
because it is highly absorbed by chlorophyll and
plays a crucial role in several key processes like
photosynthesis, vegetative growth, stomatal
regulation, and phototropism

RED LIGHT
Red light supports efficient energy absorption, flowering,
fruiting, and balanced growth, making it vital for
reproductive phases in plants.
SUPPORTING materials
BYJU (2022) If the plants are exposed to green wavelengths during
photosynthesis, the rate of photosynthesis will be the
slowest.
The best visible light wavelengths for photosynthesis are
blue (425–450 nm) and red (600–700 nm).

Green light is considered the least efficient wavelength in the


visible spectrum for photosynthesis,
MICHIGAN STATE Green light is the least efficiently used color of light in the visible
spectrum.
UNIVERSITY (2014) Plants grown with 50 percent green and 50 percent red light were
approximately 25 percent shorter than those grown under only red
light
Conclusions
Farmers should avoid investing in green light for plant growth
because it is less effective at driving photosynthesis and
promoting key developmental processes like flowering and
fruiting. Unlike red and blue light, which are efficiently
absorbed by chlorophyll and trigger hormonal responses
crucial for growth, green light is mostly reflected by plants
and contributes little to energy production. To maximize
yield, farmers should focus on providing red and blue light,
which are proven to enhance vegetative growth, flowering,
and fruiting, ensuring better crop productivity.
