Resumen de Pitch Perfect: Investigating the effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis and grass growth

Richard Spencer

• To enable turf to be re-established quickly between football matches, grass needs to be grown strongly in a few days. As growth in plants requires light, artificial light is needed to supplement daylight, especially in winter months. This investigation concerns finding the most effective colours of light and hence seeking to test suitable lamps that are as efficient as possible in their energy demand.
