Abstract

In pot trials sorghum, soyabean, perennial ryegrass and white clover were grown under high-pressure vapour discharge lamp systems (phosphor-coated mercury vapour, mercury iodide, or metal halide) operated with red and blue wavelength supplementation. Growth, form and chemical composition of the plant species were similar with each light system. The metal halide lamp was most efficient and gave the most uniform spectral distribution over visible wavelengths
