Conference Abstract
Effects of LED grow lights on Celesta F1 radish plants were studied using simulated NASA-Advanced-Plant-Habitat growth chambers, including two light quantities (300 PAR and 240 PAR) and three color combinations (RGBW, RGB, and White). The RGBW240 treatment ranked the best and RGB300 the second for growing radish plants in a confined space, considering plant compactness, plant health, edible biomass, nutrient values, and energy use efficiency. Both light treatments have the same Red/Blue spectrum ratio (6:1) and intensity ratio (1.68:1). The light quantity significantly affected radish compactness and edible biomass. Two negative correlations were found: the blue light segment with plant potassium concentration and the red light segment with plant iron concentration. These results will help NASA scientists design a broader range of light recipes for plant experiments during space exploration missions and add information about growing radish plants indoors on Earth.
