Abstract

Nowadays artificial light is often used in horticulture. Proper light composition may have significant impact on plant properties, important from the consumer's point of view. Based on experimental cultivation of thyme, examination of thyme leaves grown under different spectra was performed. Transmissive spectra, colorimetric properties, dry mass yield as well as biometrical properties (shape of leaves) were determined. Attention to the issues of energy efficacy of light sources was also paid.
