MadSci Network: Botany |
I am doing a project based on photoperiodism for an agroecology class. I can't seem to find much information that explains possible effects on plants that are grown under continuous light. I selected the radish to grow, simply because of the fast growing period. I will be allowing my control group to see only regular daylight in regular amounts. My experimental group will be in regular daylight and then under artificial grow lights with a max. of 130 Watts. The light will be continuous for 24 hours. I am using icicle radishes and plan to measure the growth based on the length and diameter of the radish, as well as taste testing both radish group at the end. I don't know what sources to use to research this area or even what to hypothesize regarding my project. Could you please let me know what possible effects the continual light will have on the radishes as well as text/information to research from? I greatly appreciate and anticipate your response. Thanks!!!
