Guinea impatiens increased by 211%, 104%, and 99% respectively, after 14 d of DLI treatments ( Currey and Lopez, 2015 ). In addition to influencing growth and development of ornamental young plants, the DLI similarly influences growth of culinary herbs

situations, early flowering can be desirable in young plant production, whereas in other cases, it is not. Altering the spectra of B, R, or FR light can influence flower induction ( Cerdán and Chory, 2004 ; Lin, 2000 ). Impatiens in our study produced 82

The majority of herbaceous ornamental plants are commercially produced in greenhouses so that they are in flower when marketed to consumers in the spring. Most garden plants are produced in two distinct phases: a young plant stage, in which

The production of young plants from seed (plugs) for spring bedding plant markets commonly begins during late winter and early spring ( Styer, 2003 ). For high-quality plug production, the recommended DLI is 10 to 12 mol·m −2 ·d −1 ( Pramuk and
