Table 1.

The relative levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and red to far-red ratio (R:FR) achieved in different light treatments

Treatments Relative levels (%)
PAR R:FR PAR R:FR
High High* 100 100
High Medium 100 34
High Low* 100 24
Medium High* 60 90
Medium Low* 70 15
Low High 29 89

Percentage values were calculated as the PAR and R:FR measured in each treatment divided by the PAR and R:FR measured in the high PAR and high R:FR treatment. Plant architectural measurements were conducted in all six treatments. Leaf photosynthetic measurements were conducted in treatments denoted with an asterisk.
