Fig. 2: Time course of solar irradiation

4 RESULTS

4.1 Environmental conditions for growing

4.1.1 Solar irradiation

Solar irradiation was allowed to come into the greenhouse. Therefore, incoming solar irradiation was affecting plant development and was regularly measured. The natural light level was low during the whole growing period. From December to the beginning of February were less than 1 kWh/m2 reached. After that increased the incoming solar irradiation up to 5 kWh/m2 at the end of the experiment (Fig. 2).

Solar irradiation was measured every day and values for one week were cumulated.

4.1.2 Chamber settings

The settings in the chambers were regularly recorded. Table 3 shows the weekly average of the CO2 amount and the average air and floor temperature as well as the average day and night temperature.
