Abstract
The most relevant wavelengths in photobiology are the ultraviolet, the visible light, and the infrared. Wavelengths between 300 and 900 nm can affect plants growth and development. Nevertheless, not only light quality can influence plant growth processes. Light properties such as its intensity and duration, as well as climatic factors, are also involved. The development of studies using a single wavelength is very useful to identify the most responsive spectrum in the target application. However, detecting the influences of adjacent spectrum segments in certain applications is difficult because the spectrum is continuous, with no apparent margins between neighboring colors. The agricultural technique of colored covering, although not new, can still be explored in order to clarify aspects concerning its use as light stimulus and the response of plants to it, and thus offer to farmers alternatives of crop management, which will also contribute significantly to the study of plant physiology. Research focused on the influence of light on plant growth is wide; however, it is necessary to discuss its findings so as to offer solid evidence if the aim is to introduce modifications in the light environment as a strategy for crop management. © 2015.
