Influence of light spectrum and photoperiod on early seedling development and microgreen yield in cabbage ( Brassica oleracea var. capitata ) and arugula ( Eruca sativa )

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate how different light conditions affect the early growth and yield of cabbage and arugula microgreens.
• Utilized a two-stage lighting strategy for early light treatment and biomass accumulation.
• Focused on measuring seedling emergence and overall microgreen production of Brassica oleracea and Eruca sativa.
• Early light treatment significantly improved seedling emergence rates.
• Biomass accumulation increased with optimized lighting conditions, indicating higher microgreen yields.
