Abstract

The precise control of the light to which the crops are exposed allows improving the production and to expand the season margin of harvest season. Some aspects improved are the organoleptic properties that are usually related to high quality products, such as: their shape, pigmentation or color of plants and fruits, their smell and taste, the precocity of the crops and even a remarkable improvement in the control of pests and diseases. This research aims to expand experimental scientific and technological information, to date, on photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), known as radiation integrated by ranges of wavelengths that are capable of producing photosynthetic activity in plants and other organisms, such as microalgae and bacteria. This article shows the experimental development of a wireless system for the monitoring; control and programming of color composition in artificial light capable of stimulating the photosynthetic reaction in plants, as a tool to improve the efficiency in horticultural production and for the investigation of photometric effects in photosynthetic organisms, implementing high power LED technologies.
