| Sumario: | Habanero pepper is one of the most important horticultural species in the Yucatan peninsula and the seedling production is the crucial initial part for successful fruit production. These could be grown under controlled environment with LED lighting and would allow them to be produced year-round free of pests and diseases. The objectives were to evaluate the effects of five blue:red LED light ratios and a fluorescent control on plant growth and photosynthetic pigments concentration of habanero pepper seedlings ‘Mayan Ba’alché’ grown under controlled conditions. The results showed that control promoted the development of the leaf, through a greater leaf area, leaf area index, specific leaf area, leaf fresh weight and with a lower stomatal frequency and stem diameter, while A100 treatment promoted the development of the stem, through greater plant height, internode distance and stem fresh weight. The combination of blue and red light induced a negative effect in seedling height, internode distance and stem fresh weight. The treatments had no effect on the dry weight of the aerial part and in the photosynthetic pigments. |
