Photosynthetic Efficiency and Yield of Cucumber ( L.) Grown under HPS and LED Lighting in Autumn-Winter Cultivation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the supplemental lighting of cucumber with sodium pressure lamps (HPSs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on photosynthetic efficiency and yield in autumn-winter cultivation. Cucumber plants of the 'Svyatogor' F1 midi-cucumber parthenocarpic type cultivar were grown on mineral wool mats in three compartments, differing only in the type of light, i.e.
