11、tion Application for Plants Committee; approved as an ASABE standard July 2017; approved by ANSI July 2017. Keywords: Metrics, Radiation, Plant Growth, Horticulture. 0 Introduction The conventional radiation metric for plant growth applications is photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), as introd

12、uced by McCree 1. It is based on field and growth chamber measurements of photosynthesis in 22 common plant species, and represents the CO2 assimilation per mole of incident photons at specific wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm. PAR is expressed in terms of the photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) a

13、nd photosynthetic photon flux density, (PPFD). These metrics can be measured with a suitably calibrated quantum sensor or derived from spectroradiometer measurements. PPF is the amount of radiation emitted from a source. PPFD indicates the amount of radiation that is incident upon a unit of surface

14、area. Plant growth, architecture, and flowering, however, involve more than just photosynthesis. Plants have numerous photoreceptors that absorb and are activated or deactivated by specific spectral regions from UVB to far-red. Ultraviolet radiation, for example, may induce changes in leaf and plant

15、 morphology 2. As another example, the far-red isoform of phytochrome, which is responsible for many plant functions including seed germination, flower induction, plant height, and leaf expansion, has a spectral absorptance peak at 730 nm 3. These phenomena have previously been of interest mostly to

16、 plant biologists, as the electromagnetic radiation sources available for plant growth applications were limited to incandescent, fluorescent, and high-intensity discharge (e.g. high-pressure sodium and metal halide) lamps. The light sources customarily used by horticulturalists were often designed

17、for human perception or general illumination purposes, rather than optimized for plant applications. Thus, simplifying incident light intensity to PPFD measurements provided adequate precision with a useful degree of standardization. This has all changed with the introduction of solid-state lighting

18、 for horticultural applications. Horticulturists quickly realized that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) appeared adequate for the photosynthetic needs of many plants, as their spectral output can coincide with the spectral absorptance of leaves and the action spectrum of photosynthesis. Furthermore, the

19、 range from ultraviolet to far-red LEDs has become available for horticultural radiation applications. Commercial growers and horticultural researchers alike now have the ability to “tune” the spectral output to complement the action spectra of any plant pigment or species or pursue specific photomo

20、rphological responses. This ability is important not only for the inclusion of ultraviolet and far-red radiation in horticultural lighting, but also because the spectral power distribution (SPD) of plant growth radiation is important. Green radiation in particular, while not highly absorbed by isola

21、ted chlorophyll A and B, nevertheless has significant impact on both photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis of the leaf and whole plant (for example, Reference 4 and Reference 5). Unlike traditional electric lighting for horticulture, the use of LED technology allows for the inclusion of many differe

22、nt wavelengths of radiation as well as their proportions to each other. Solid-state lighting has further emphasized the need for horticultural radiation metrics beyond that of PAR and PPFD. The availability of solid-state lighting has contributed to a significant increase in the understanding of pla

23、nt photobiological responses, and it offers the potential to specifically trigger these with more control. This document ANSI/ASABE S640 JUL2017 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 2 presents equivalent metrics and associated definitions for ultraviolet and far-red ra

24、diation, as well as spectral power distribution. In addition to establishing the appropriate definition of metrics for plant growth, this document also presents equivalent metrics for defining UV and FR radiation often associated with photomorphological effects in plants. 1 Scope This document provi
