Abstract
Energy conversion soda-lime-silica glasses doped with Eu3+ were produced and they were used to build small scale modules of $100\times100cm$ simulating the roof of glass house with which the rearing state of a small number of young and grown vegetables was observed. The vegetables selected for the study were eggplant, kale, and pimento. The width and length of their leaves along with the photosynthesized ability and chlorophyl content were measured to observe the growing state of the vegetables in the given periods of time. It was found that the vegetables grown under the photo-conversion glass made panels had higher values of the leaf width and length by 5 to 30% than them under the commercially available ordinary glass panels depending on the kind of vegetables. The photosynthesized abilities were also shown much higher for the vegetables under the conversion glass panels than for the non-conversion ones.
