Abstract:Within the current scenario of cropland use and forest surface loss, there is a need for the implementation of viable urban farming systems, e.g., indoor vertical farming (VF). Light management is fundamental in VF, although responses to light spectra are often species-specific. As the interest of consumers and farmers towards baby-leaf vegetables has recently increased, this study aimed at assessing the most effective red:blue (RB) ratio for enhanced baby-leaf production of kale (Brassica oleracea). Within an… Show more
