Abstract
The vegetative growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cvs. Norland (NL) and Denali (DN) was investigated comparing SONAGRO high-pressure sodium (HPS-S), standard high-pressure sodium (HPS), and metal halide (MH) lamps. Plants were initiated from nodal culture and grown hydroponically in a reach-in growth chamber for 35 d with a 12-hr light/12-hr dark photoperiod and corresponding thermoperiod of 20/16 C. PPF for each treatment was maintained at 300 μmol m -2 s -1 and CO 2 levels maintained at l000 μmol mol -1 to promote growth. Results showed that main stem length (SL) and number of internodes (INT) for DN were significantly higher under HPS compared to MH, while HPS-S was not significantly different from the other lamp types. Total dry weight (TDW) of NL plants was significantly higher for HPS than for either HPS-S and MH, however there was no significant difference in SL and INT among lamp types. The data suggest that the 12.6% increase in blue light (400-500 nm) with HPS-S in comparison to conventional HPS lamps may not be sufficient to consistently decrease the stem elongation effects commonly seen with plants grown under HPS.
