Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The highest light diffuseness increased calculated crop photosynthesis by 7·2 %.
- Observation More uniform horizontal light distribution accounted for 33 % of the photosynthesis effect.
- Observation More uniform vertical PPFD distribution accounted for 21 % of the effect.
- Observation Higher leaf photosynthetic capacity in the crop middle contributed 23 % of the photosynthesis gain.
- Observation Higher LAI contributed 13 % of the photosynthesis gain.
