The Emerson Effect refers to the increased rate of photosynthesis when plants are simultaneously exposed to light wavelengths of 660 nm (deep red) and 730 nm (far red). Utilizing LED lights emitting these wavelengths can significantly enhance plant growth efficiency.
Benefits of Utilizing the Emerson Effect
- Enhanced Photosynthesis: Increases the rate of photosynthesis, promoting faster growth.
- Higher Yields: Improved lighting leads to greater crop production.
- Energy Efficiency: Effective light use reduces energy consumption.
Implementing LED lights with the Emerson Effect is particularly beneficial in hydroponic systems and greenhouses.
