- 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 LAI contributed 13 % of the photosynthesis gain.
- Intervention effect Diffuse light lowered leaf temperature and photoinhibition at the canopy top under high irradiance.
