This study examines the effects of varying LED durations and the seedling’s dark phase on microgreen mung bean growth rate, yield, and quality. Conducted in December 2023 at the Laboratory of Microgreen Cultivation, Jl. Joyo Agung, Malang, at an elevation of approximately 625 meters, the study utilized a box experiment with a split-plot design. The primary variable was the length of the LED dark phase (0, 12, and 18 hours), while the subplot focused on the early seedling dark phase treatment (two 24-hour dark phases and no dark phase). Analysis of variance showed no significant interaction between LED exposure time and blackout treatment, except for plant texture. The best plant texture (6.10 mm/s) was achieved with 18 hours of exposure and an early-stage dark period. LED light exposure influenced the total fresh weight, total dry weight, and total soluble solids of the plants. The 12-hour exposure produced the highest total fresh weight (85.15 g), while the 18-hour exposure resulted in the highest total dry weight (6.28 g), crown dry weight (5.70 g), and total soluble solids at 4 and 6 days after sowing (8.80oBrix and 8.27oBrix, respectively).

An exponential growth in global population is expected to reach nine billion by 2050, demanding a 70% increase in agriculture productivity, thus illustrating the impact of global crop production on the environment and the importance of achieving greater agricultural yields. Globally, the variety of high-quality microgreens is increasing through indoor farming at both small and large scales. The major concept of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) seeks to provide an alternative to traditional agricultural cultivation. Microgreens have become popular in the twenty-first century as a food in the salad category that can fulfil some nutrient requirements. Microgreens are young seedlings that offer a wide spectrum of colours, flavours, and textures, and are characterised as a “functional food” due to their nutraceutical properties. Extensive research has shown that the nutrient profile of microgreens can be desirably tailored by preharvest cultivation and postharvest practices. This study provides new insight into two major categories, (i) environmental and (ii) cultural, responsible for microgreens’ growth and aims to explore the various agronomical factors involved in microgreens production. In addition, the review summarises recent studies that show these factors have a significant influence on microgreens development and nutritional composition.
