Abstract

Plant productivity and quality in plant factories with artificial lighting (PFAL) depend on lighting control. Planting medium and plant nutrient affect aromatic crop germination, crop growth, and essential oil yield. For 12 h, LEDs provided artificial grow illumination in three ratios: 100% blue, 100% white, and combination of 67%:20%:13% red:blue:white. Lemon basil was grown using cocopeat:peat moss:perlite mixtures of 70:10:20 and 70:20:10. Lemon basil plants were watered twice daily with commercial AB mix at 500 and 700 ppm plant nutrients. Different LED ratios have different lux and Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD), such as 100 lx and 44.26 mol·m-2·s-1 for 100% blue, 1000 lx and 95.92 mol·m-2·s-1 for 100% white, 350 lx and 37.33 mol·m-2·s-1 for 67%:20%:13% red:blue:white at 25-27oC and 70–80% relative humidity. The 100% white LED lamp with 700 ppm of plant nutrient concentration produced the best lemon basil growth, with height, leaf area, fresh weight, chlorophyll SPAD, a, b, and total chlorophyll content of 11.88 cm, 8.61 cm2, 0.8043 g, 27.1, 22.679 mg/L, 32.578 mg/L, and 40.427 mg/L for 70:10:20 ratio of planting medium, and 11.29 cm, 11.19 cm2, 0.6447 g, 26.2, 21.022 mg/L, 40 mg/L, 46.18 mg/L for 70:20:10 ratio of cocopeat:peat moss:perlite combination.
