What is the PAR and PPFD?
PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) describes the portion of the visible spectrum that plants “see” and use for photosynthesis (400nm-700nm). PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) measures the amount of light (PAR) a plant receives over time. PPFD represents the light density a plant receives over time and is measured in micromoles [of photons] per square meter per second (1).A way to visualize PPFD is to imagine the sun is “pouring” light onto the plant leaves. As the sun pours light onto...
