Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Assimilation rates of maize increased with light intensity up to 5000 PAR.
- Association Assimilation rates of maize plateaued around 5500 PAR.
- Association Assimilation rates of maize declined beyond 8000 PAR.
- Association Red light at 300 PAR gave the highest assimilation rate of maize under monochromatic light.
- Association Green light boosted maize assimilation at higher intensities, peaking at 33.5 µmol m–2 s–1 under 4000 PAR.
- Intervention effect A 50% mix of white and green light at 2000 PAR enhanced maize assimilation by 14% compared with white light alone.
- Association Red light at 630 nm promoted photosynthesis of maize in high PAR combinations.
- Association Increasing green light reduced the quantum yield of maize.
- Association Ultra-high light intensities with specific spectral combinations can optimize maize photosynthesis.
- Association Optimized photosynthesis under ultra-high light does not necessarily translate to enhanced overall maize growth.
