The daily photosynthetic photon flux density incident on a horizontal surface was estimated with sunshine duration through daily global radiation at Taegu in Korea. The constant and coefficient of $\AA$ngstrom equation for global radiation were calculated as 0.1763 and 0.5012, respectively. The conversion factor from daily global radiation to daily photosynthetic photon flux density was determined as 2.2359.

LED lighting systems that combine lighting capability, emotional and physiological characteristics are required for lighting source and multifunctional applications. In this work, Simulation studies using optical analysis software packages, Light Tools, are presented. This is done to estimate the uniformity ratio of illuminance and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of the periodic 2D lattice arrangements, such as square, diamond, two-way bias quadrangular, hexagonal, and Kagome lattices, under the same transmissivity, absorptance and reflectivity. It has been found out that the two-dimensional Kagome lattice arrangement exhibited high uniformity ratio of illuminance and PPFD compared to other lattices. Accordingly, these results can be used to guide a design and improve the lighting environment which in turn would maximize the uniform distributions of illuminance.

식물공장을 위한 회전형 조명 시스템은 기존의 식물공장 조명시스템에 무수히 많이 설치되는 LED를 대신하여 비교적 적은 양의 LED가 설치된 조명장치를 회전시켜 작물들에게 필요한 광을 공급하는 시스템이며, 기존 식물공장 조명시스템에서 발생되는 고가의 초기 설치비용을 해결하기 위한 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 식물이 생장하는데 필요한 광합성유효광양자속(PPF)에 대하여 조사하고, 회전형 조명시스템 시제품과 광양자센서를 이용하여 조명시스템의 LED출력과 회전속도 변화에 따른 PPF의 차이를 비교, 분석하였다. 블레이드의 회전속도가 20rpm이고 LED의 출력이 IN 73%, CENTER 37%, OUT 50%일 때 모든 영역에서 $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{^-2}{\cdot}s^{^-1}$의 일정한 PPF값이 공급된다는 결과를 확인하였으며, 기존의 식물공장의 조명 시스템에 비해 적은양의 LED를 회전시킴으로써 식물의 성장에 필요한 광을 제공하는데 어려움이 없다는 결과를 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a measurement system for determining photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) distribution and illumination efficiency of LED lamps. Methods: The system was composed of a linear moving sensor part (LMSP), a rotating part to turn the LMSP, a body assembly to support the rotating part, and a motor controller. The average PPF of the LED lamp with natural cooling and water cooling was evaluated using the measurement system. Results: The PPF of LED lamp with water cooling was 3.1-31.7% greater than that with natural cooling. Based on the measured value, PPF on the horizontal surface was predicted. Illumination efficiency of the LED lamp was slightly increased with water cooling by 3.4%, compared with natural cooling. A simulation program using MATLAB was developed to analyze the effects of the vertical distance from lighting sources to growing bed, lamp spacing, and number of LED lamps, on the PPF distribution on the horizontal surface. The uniformity of the PPF distribution of the LED lamps was fairly improved with 15 cm spacing, as compared to the 5 cm spacing. By simulation, PPF of $217.0{\pm}27.9{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ was obtained at the vertical distance of 40 cm from six LED lamps with 12 cm spacing. This simulated PPF was compared to the measured one of $225.9{\pm}25.6{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. After continuous lighting of 346 days, the relative PPF of LED lamps with water cooling and natural cooling was decreased by 6.6% and 22.8%, respectively. Conclusions: From these results, it was concluded that the measurement system developed in this study was useful for determining PPF and illumination efficiency of artificial lighting sources including LED lamp.

Forest-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is exposed to daily and seasonal light variations. Our goal was to determine the effect of understory light changes on the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II, expressed as $F_v/F_m$, and photosynthetic pigment composition of two-year-old plants. Understory light photon flux density and sunfleck durations were characterized using hemispherical canopy photography. Our results showed that understory light significantly affected the $F_v/F_m$ of American ginseng, especially during the initial development of the plants when light levels were the highest, averaging 28 mol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$. Associated with low $F_v/F_m$ during its initial development, American ginseng had the lowest levels of epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle of the season, suggesting an active dissipation of excess light energy absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments. As photon flux density decreased after the deployment of the forest canopy to less than 10 mol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$, chlorophyll a/b decreased suggesting a greater investment in light harvesting pigments to reaction centers in order to absorb the fleeting light energy.

This study was performed to analyze the distribution of air current speed, $CO_2$ concentration, and photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) in a closed transplants production system (CTPS) for producing quality transplants. And the effect of PPF on the growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Dejima) plug seedlings was analyzed. Uniformity of the air current speed in CTPS was improved by installing perforated floors in duct for air circulating and by adjusting of air flow rate of the fan connected to air conditioning unit used in this study, Measured $CO_2$ concentrations were measured $409{\pm}13$, $950{\pm}25$, and $1,550{\pm}35\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ for setting values of 400, 950, and $1,550\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$, respectively. Uniformity of PPF by adding each one the single fluorescent lamp of 20 W at both ends of the single fluorescent lamps of 40 W was highly improved. While the average PPF measured under the twin fluorescent lamps of 55 W installed at regular intervals of 10 cm was decreased by increasing the vertical distance from the lighting sources, the ratio of average PPF measured at both ends to PPF measured in the center was 74-79%. Five levels ($100{\pm}9$, $150{\pm}14$, $200{\pm}17$, $250{\pm}24$ and $300{\pm}31{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) of PPF were provided to investigate the effect of PPF on plant height, fresh weight and dry weight of potato plug seedlings produced in CTPS. Plant height was decreased by increasing PPF. Maximum fresh weight and dry weight were shown under PPF of $250{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Thus PPF of $250\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ was enough to produce quality potato transplants under air temperature, photoperiod, and relative humidity of $20^{\circ}C$, 16/8 h, and 70%, respectively. It was concluded that quality indices such as plant height, fresh weight and dry weight could be improved by illuminating of adequate PPF from artificial lighting sources.

최근 들어 육묘시설의 양적 증가와 육묘 기술 수준의 향상에 힘입어 플러그묘의 보급이 확대되고 있다. 더구나 육묘와 재배의 분업화가 진행되고, 고품질 묘의 안정된 수급이 대한 관심이 늘어나면서 육묘 산업에 대한 비중이 점차 증가하고 있다. 국내에 설치되어 있는 모든 육묘시설은 개방형 묘생산 시스템으로서, 육묘시설 내의 환경이 외부 기상 조건과 밀접한 관계를 이루며 변화하는 특성을 갖는다. (중략)

농산물은 기후와 시장동향에 따라 물량, 품질, 가격이 변동하고 산지에 따라 상품규격이나 품종이 다양하기 때문에 적기에 수출물량을 공급하고 지속적으로 확보하는 것이 어려운 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 앞으로 농산물의 국제 경쟁력은 상품의 고품질화와 시장의 변화에 따른 상품의 안정적 공급에 달려 있다고 할 것이다. 연구결과에 의하면 작물이 안정적으로 생장하고 고품질의 수확물을 지속적으로 생산하기 위해서는 적정 일일적산광합성유효광양자속을 균일하게 공급할수 있어야 한다. (중략)

작물의 생장상태를 측정하고자 기존의 연구자들에 의해서 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 그러나 작물의 생장을 감시하기 위한 기존의 방법은 파괴적이며 지속적이지 못하다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 작물이 생장 장해를 받아 눈에 띄게 작물의 생장변화가 보일 경우 작물은 이미 영구적인 손상을 받게 진다. 따라서 이런 작물의 생장 장해를 조기에 진단하여 작물의 생장 장해에 능동적으로 반응할 수 있는 방법의 개발이 절실히 요구된다. (중략)
