Enhancing lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) propagation in vertical farming system: Investigating the impact of LED red-to-blue ratios and subsequent post-potting growth dynamics
Abstract This study aims to examine the influence of red-to-blue (R:B) LED light ratios on the propagation of Lavandula angustifolia within a vertical farming system. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the persistent effects of LED lighting treatments on post-potting development in a glasshouse. The objective of this study is to assess how different R:B LED light ratios impact Lavandula angustifolia propagation in a vertical farming system and to analyze the enduring effects of these lighting
