| Summary: | Red and blue light waves are the main energy source in the photosynthesis process
and the combination of these two colors is relatively different in each plant. This
knowledge is applied to crop production systems, one of which is microgreens. This
study aims to determine the best combination of red and blue light to produce
microgreens of wheat grass (Triticum aestivum). In this study the plants were given
4 treatments, namely treatment A (91% red + 9% blue), treatment B (83% red +
17% blue), treatment C (47% red + 53% blue), and treatment D ( 35% red + 65%
blue.) From the LED light and white light from the Fluorescent Light Spectrum as
control. The variables observed were height, fresh weight, and chlorophyll content
and the differences in the effects of each treatment were tested by One Way
ANOVA and LSD Post-hoc test if there were significant differences (P <0.05). The
results showed that the plants receiving treatment A and B had the greatest change
in height, treatment C had the highest fresh weight, and treatment D had the highest
total chlorophyll content in treatment D and there was a significant difference
between treatment A and control.
