| 1 | Light is one of the key requirements for plant growth. Artificial Lighting is needed to grow plants in spaces where there is little or no natural light available or when the natural day length is artificially extended. Photosynthesis, germination, time of flowering and plant morphology are light dependent activities. These actions are highly related to the surrounding light quality from which the plant perceives signals of its environment. These responses are mediated by wavelengths within and beyond the Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) area, including also UV and far-red irradiation. The ratios of blue to green ratio and red to far-red ratio determine how fast or slow the plant grows. | |
| 2 | The standard has been developed in order to provide guidelines and standards for the use of artificial lighting for plant growth in various applications, such as Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and other related fields, in India. This standard will provide recommendations on requirements for lighting system, structures, safety, maintenance and also the basis for development of conformity assessment scheme in future in order to evaluate the artificial lighting system for protected cultivation. | |
| 3 | This standard provides guidelines for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of artificial lighting systems used in protected cultivation, including but not limited to indoor facilities, vertical farms, greenhouses, and other controlled environments. | |
