To produce a high quality crop, light is an essential environmental factor in greenhouse cultivation. In the winter season, solar radiation is weak than other season. Therefore, using supplemental light during a low radiation period can increase the crop growth and yield. This study was conducted to select the economical supplemental light source for greenhouse cultivation in pepper during the low radiation period. The green pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Super Cheongyang') was transplanted on 5 September 2019. Supplemental lighting treatment was conducted from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020. RB LED (red and blue LED, red:blue = 7:3), W LED (white LED, R:G:B = 5:3:2), and HPS (high-pressure sodium lamp) were used as the supplemental light source. Non-treatment was used as the control. The plant height, SPAD, and number of nodes of pepper plants have no significant differences by supplemental light sources. However, the number of ramifications plants was the greatest in RB LED light source. Moreover, supplemental lighting increased photosynthesis of the pepper plant, and especially, the RB LED had the highest photosynthesis rate during supplemental lighting period. Also, the yield of pepper increased in the supplemental lighting treatment than in the control, and the RB LED had the greatest yield than other light sources. The electricity consumption was the highest in W LED and the lowest in HPS light. Through the economic analysis, the RB LED had high economic efficiency. In conclusion, these results suggest that using RB LED for supplemental light source during low radiation in pepper greenhouse increase the yield and economic feasibility.

식물공장의 다양한 건물형태에 따른 냉난방부하의 차이를 DesignBuilder를 이용하여 해석하였다. 엽채류 중 상추의 생육 적정온도인 $20^{\circ}C$를 실내온도로 설정하고 식물공장 외벽에 단일창호를 적용하여 온실형태에 따른 냉난방부하 변화를 계산하였다. 보광이 없는 건물자체의 냉난방부하를 계산한 결과 KNU 식물공장 단위유닛과 반원 온실형 식물공장이 냉방부하가 가장 적었다. 보광 적용 후에는 전반적으로 KNU 식물공장 단위유닛과 직사각형 식물공장이 양호한 냉난방 성능을 보여주었다. KNU 식물공장 창호의 면적이 와이드 스팬형보다 크기 때문에 건설비용의 증가가 예상되지만 회전형 스마트 조명 제어시스템을 적용하게 되면 재배면적을 넓히고 공간활용에 유리하다. 또한 LED 사용량을 줄일 수 있어 냉방부하와 보광에 드는 비용을 절감할 수 있다.

Supplemental lighting with artificial light sources is a practical method that enables normal growth and enhances the yield and quality of fruit vegetable in greenhouses. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sulfur plasma lamp (SP) and high-pressure sodium lamp (HPS) as supplemental lighting sources on the growth and yield of paprika. For investigating the effectiveness of SP and HPS lamps on paprika, the effects of primary lighting on plant growth were compared in growth chambers and those of supplemental lighting were also compared in greenhouses. In the growth chamber, plant height, leaf area, stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh weight, and dry weight were measured weekly at SP and HPS from 2 weeks after transplanting. In the greenhouse, no supplemental lighting (only sunlight) was considered as the control. The supplemental lights were turned on when outside radiation became below $100W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ from 07:00 to 21:00. From 3 weeks after supplemental lighting, the growth was measured weekly, while the number and weight of paprika fruits measured every two weeks. In the growth chamber, the growth of paprika at SP was better than at HPS due to the higher photosynthetic rate. In the greenhouse, the yield was higher under sunlight with either HPS or SP than sunlight only (control). No significant differences were observed in plant height, number of node, leaf length, and fresh and dry weights between SP and HPS. However, at harvest, the number of fruits rather than the weight of fruits were higher at SP due to the enhancement of fruiting numbers and photosynthesis. SP showed a light spectrum similar to sunlight, but higher PAR and photon flux sum of red and far-red wavelengths than HPS, which increased the photosynthesis and yield of paprika.

The heating and cooling energy load of the KNU plant factory was analyzed using the DesignBuilder. Indoor temperature set-point, LED supplemental lighting schedule, LED heat gain, and type of double skin window were selected as simulation parameters. For the cases without LED supplemental lighting, the proper growth temperature of lettuce $20^{\circ}C$ was selected as indoor temperature set-point together with $15^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$. The annual heating and cooling loads which are required to maintain a constant indoor temperature were calculated for all the given temperatures. The cooling load was highest for $15^{\circ}C$ and heating load was highest for $25^{\circ}C$. For the cases with LED supplemental lighting, the heating load was decreased and the cooling load was 6 times higher than the case without LED. In addition, night time lighting schedule gave better result as compared to day time lighting schedule. To investigate the effect of window type on annual energy load, 5 different double skin window types were selected. As the U-value of double skin window decreases, the heating load decreases and the cooling load increases. To optimize the total energy consumption in the plant factory, it is required to set a proper indoor temperature for the selected plantation crop, to select a suitable window type depending on LED heat gain, and to apply passive and active energy saving technology.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplemental lighting with different lighting intensity during growth on the sugar and pyruvic acid content of onion bulbs. As the result of comparison with growth, the content of pyruvic acid and sugar at harvest, supplemental lightening condition showed better growth, lower pyruvic acid content and higher sugar content than control. As to the growth at harvest according to lightening condition, 'Josaeng-ssundeobol' showed better growth as the lightening increased and 'Damrojunggab' had no difference above $12{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR. 'Josaeng-ssundeobol' contained much more content of pyruvic acid and sugar than 'Damrojunggab'. 'Josaeng-ssundeobol' had the lowest pyruvic acid content in $24{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR and 'Damrojunggab' had no difference above the $12{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR. The sugar content of 'Josaeng-ssundeobol' had no big difference above $18{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR and that of 'Damrojunggab' had no big difference above $12{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR. Desirable indicator to select individuals for the onion breeding is to select individuals that has low pyruvic acid content and high sweetness. Therefore, it will be possible to produce sweet onion conditioned on light supplement over $18{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR in 'Josaeng-ssundeobol' and over $12{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PAR in 'Damrojunggab'.

These studies were conducted to verify the effect of the supplementary lighting by reflective film mulching and its establishment in the north side of greenhouse on the utility of light at tomato by means of investigating changes of leaf temperatures, stomatal features, transpiration rates and photosynthetic rates. Stomatal density of leaves were high in the reflective film mulching but sizes of stomata were not different. As the osmotic potential in rooting zone was low, the stomatal resistance was high, transpiration rate was low, and leaf temperature was increased by 40.62$^{\circ}C$. And also in the block of reflective film mulching photosynthetic rates were decreased hut chlorophyll contents were not different. Especially, there is an effect of controlling greenhouse whiteflies by treatment of reflective film mulching. It is thought that the reason of high quality or increasing yield at several crops by supplementary lighting, such as reflective film mulching, would be caused by influences of absorption and distribution of nutrients through high transpiration rate and photosynthesis which resulted from increase of stomata.
