Abstract

The present invention provides a bimodal blue light for promoting plant growth, which has peaks in wavebands of 431-441 nm and 445-455 nm, respectively. The ratio of the number of photons in the waveband of 445-455 nm to the number of photons in the waveband of 431-441 nm is 1.18-1.54. Test shows that using the bimodal blue light of the present invention can promote plant growth and increase yield.
