Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the micrometeorological conditions in a greenhouse, arrangements, use of photoselective meshes (Stage I), and supplementary lighting by an emitting diode (Stage II), in the production of pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings. The first experimental arrangement had the use of red, white, freshnet, and control photoselective meshes. The second experiment consisted of the use of supplemental lighting based on the light-emitting diode (LED) in the red and blue (R/B) spectra, in the proportion of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and control. The micrometeorological monitoring in the cultivation modules, in the greenhouse, occurred from the recording of air temperature (Tair), relative humidity (RH), global solar radiation (GR), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), through a datalogger. The biometric variables of the seedlings were recorded at the beginning and the end of the experiments. Data were submitted to descriptive statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), and multiple regression models established. PAR and GR showed strong correlations for the control treatment (± 0.80 and ± 0.75, respectively) from the beginning to the end of the experiments. The multivariate regression models presented satisfactory adjustments for determining the PAR in the initial (76.03%) and final (71.75%) phases, for the leaf area index (LAI) at the beginning (76.41%), and final (89.36%) of the production cycle. Freshnet and white photoselective meshes provided the best biometric responses in the final stage of seedling development, while supplemental lighting R/B in the 80/20 ratio showed better seedling development in the initial stage of the experiment.
