Background. In the context of modern challenges for ensuring food security and sustainable development of agrotechnologies in the Russian Federation, particular attention is being paid to optimizing plant cultivation methods in controlled environments. One of the promising methods is the use of closed hydroponic systems, where the light spectrum plays a key role in regulating growth processes and photosynthesis. This article focuses on studying the effects of different light spectra (blue, red, and mixed) on the growth of Lactuca sativa under controlled hydroponic conditions. The study presents the results of a comparative analysis of growth rates, biomass, and plant quality.
Purpose. To examine the influence of different light spectra (blue, red, and mixed) on the growth and productivity of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in hydroponic conditions, to determine the optimal lighting conditions for maximizing yield and quality.
Materials and Methods. The study found that blue light (450 nm) increases chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity, promoting compact plant growth with a high leaf count but reducing total biomass. Red light (660 nm, 740 nm), on the other hand, stimulates stem elongation and biomass accumulation but decreases chlorophyll content. Combined lighting (red and blue spectra) provided balanced results, ensuring optimal conditions for growth, high photosynthetic activity, and high-quality plant biomass.
Results. It has been shown that the use of UAVs in agriculture in the Sakhalin region offers broad opportunities for monitoring agricultural indicators, enabling the creation of a compact and flexible data collection system through the connection and integration of various sensors, thus facilitating the development of a scalable system. A model for the application of UAVs in the ecological monitoring of agricultural lands in the Sakhalin region has been developed, featuring an original interface for real-time sensor data processing and storage in a specialized database. To implement the model, a methodology for utilizing UAVs to assess the quality state of agricultural lands in the Sakhalin region was developed and tested.
Conclusions. The use of combined light spectra in hydroponic systems allows for achieving maximum productivity and quality in lettuce cultivation. The results underscore the need for further optimization of lighting conditions to promote efficient Lactuca sativa growth under hydroponic conditions and confirm the potential of closed hydroponic systems for sustainable food crop production.
