Effects of Different Wavelength-Led Lighting Applications on Seedling Quality in Tomato

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of lighting environments created using LED lamps with different wavelengths on the quality of tomato seedlings and to find a solution to the problems of transplant producers in case of any delays in deliveries, by ensuring control over the height and quality of the seedlings. For this purpose, seedlings of the “Ferguson F1” tomato variety were first grown for 10 days under LED lamps with different wavelengths (red, blue, green, white-daylight mix-control) with the same light intensity in a climate chamber from the transplanting stage. Subsequently, the tomato seedlings were exposed to light conditions obtained by adding blue light, which was determined to be effective in suppressing stem elongation, in different proportions (100%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5%) to the white-daylight mix lamps used as control. Finally, to demonstrate the long-term effects and persistence of different proportions of blue light, the seedlings were once again exposed to white-daylight conditions. Among the different wavelengths used during the seedling stage, blue light was determined to suppress the growth of tomato seedlings. Additionally, it was found that red light promoted plant growth and caused a significant increase in seedling height. Significant increases in plant fresh weight and plant height were also obtained in tomato seedlings grown under different blue light conditions as the proportion of blue light decreased. When the long-term effect of different proportions of blue light on seedling quality was considered, it was observed that the effect of blue light on the quality of tomato seedlings transferred to control lighting conditions after application was temporary and the growth of the seedlings continued. These results have shown that 100% blue light can be used to suppress seedling height and that the effect of blue light is not as permanent as the chemicals used in the transplant cultivation industry.
