Radiant Energy Utilized in Photosynthesis

P. Strebeyko1
1 Warszawa, Poland

On the basis of values from literature it was established that photosynthetically used radiation (PUR) amounts to 6 % of absorbed radiant energy in cabbage (producer of high yields), 3.5 % in sugar beet leaves, and 2.6 % in tobacco leaves. PUR of these species did not depend on irradiance in a wide range from 22 to 287 W m-2.

Additional key words: Beta; Brassica; cabbage; Nicotiana; irradiance; photosynthetic rate; sugar beet; tobacco
