How much do you really know about the light that nurtures your plants? In this enlightening episode of Plants, People, Science, hosts Curt Rom and Samson Humphrey take you on a journey through the multifaceted world of light's influence on horticulture. They start with their own personal experiences with sunlight and artificial light, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Erik Runkle from Michigan State University. Dr. Runkle shares his fascinating journey into the study of light and its effects on plant growth, detailing how light intensity, quality, and duration play critical roles in flowering and biomass production. We also tackle the technological advancements that have revolutionized lighting, particularly the shift from traditional bulbs to cutting-edge LED technology.
