Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of different primary light colors on the growth of betlevine (Piper betle). Betlevine plants were grown under four different primary light colors which are red, blue, green, and white light. The growth parameters will be leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight, which were measured after three weeks of growth under different light conditions. The results showed that plants grown under red and blue light had significantly higher plant height, leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight compared to those grown under green. The plants grown under white light had intermediate growth characteristics between those grown under red/blue and green light. The study suggests that red and blue light may positively affect the growth of betlevine, while green light may have a negative effect. The findings may have practical implications for the cultivation of betlevine and other crops that require specific light conditions for optimal growth and development. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the observed effects and to optimize the light conditions for betlevine cultivation.
