Red and Blue light are best for plant growth because those two wavelengths are what chlorophyll respond to.
.............if this is tru y not use a black light................it emits purple light

∙ 11y agoPlants are effectively able to use Violet/ Blue light between 400 and 475 nanometers (wavelength) and Red light between 650 and 700 nanometers (wavelength) - which are absorbed by chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Green light which falls within the 475 to 650 nanometers wavelength, is not used as much as chlorophyll is green in colour and reflects these wavelengths. However, Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments which occur in all photosynthetic organisms. They contain about forty carbon atoms, often without oxygen atoms and are fat soluble. They are chemically unrelated to chlorophyll and consist of rings connected by long chains of carbon atoms. They absorb light maximally at wavelengths between 460 and 550 nm and are therefore yellow, red or orange in colour as they reflect the wavelengths in this part of the spectrum. Carotenoids are found in all photosynthetic organisms.

∙ 9y agoblue - violet light should be used. Violet light is near the end of the visible light spectrum because it has a very low wavelength.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoMost of the visible light spectrum except green wavelengths is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecule and is usable in photosynthesis as a source of energy for plants.

Why is the silt soil is most favorable for plant growth?
It is the most fertile
Where does a plant's most active growth take place?
The three places that growth takes place on a plant is a certain temperature, water, and oxygen.
Can any light make a plant grow?
According to what I have researched most light can make a plant grow, it just depends on the wavelength that the light is flowing. Carl Gelenye has done some work with different wave lengths of light for plants growth and found the violet works the best and blue is the worst.
What element is found in most soils and is essential for plant growth?
nitrogen
What plant hormone is responsible for most tropisms?
Gibberellins are growth hormones that control plant height and bud development.
How does poop affect plant growth?
That depends on the composition of the "poop". Poop from ruminant animals could be quite beneficial to plants. -Poop from most humans will not be so good.

Does light effect a plant's growth?
Most times, yes
What type of soil best for most plant growth?
topsoil

What is the effect of frezzing temperature on plant growth?
freezing temp will kill most living plant tissue
What element is found in most soils and is essential for plant growth?
nitrogen
Is a PGPR a fats?
PGPR (= Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobaceria) In the rhizosphere, that is on the plant root or its close vicinity, bacteria are abundantly present, most often organized in microcolonies. Some of these rhizobacteria not only benefit from the nutrients secreted by the plant root but also beneficially influence the plant in a direct or indirect way, resulting in a stimulation of its growth. These plantgrowth- promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) can be classified according to their beneficial effects. For instance, biofertilizers can fix nitrogen, which can subsequently be used by the plant, thereby improving plant growth when the amount of nitrogen in the soil is limiting. Phytostimulators can directly promote the growth of plants, usually by the production of hormones. Biocontrol agents are able to protect plants from infection by phyto-pathogenic organisms.
What plant hormone is responsible for most tropisms?
Gibberellins are growth hormones that control plant height and bud development.
What is the component of soil most needed to maintain plant growth?
top soil
