Abstract

The red/far-red (R/FR) photon flux ratio is an important index of morphological control of plant growth.

Both 600–700/700–800nm and 655–665/725–735nm have been used as definitions for R/FR. In our research, these two definitions were tested comparing the growth of sunflowers using 3-band+FR fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps at the same of R/FR and photosynthetic photon flux density.
The ratio, 600–700/700–800nm, was a better index for morphological characteristics.
Plant shape and morphological characteristics were surprisingly similar in spite of the different spectral distributions.
