Examining the growth of cowpea microgreens under various intensities of LED lighting

Cowpea microgreens (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) are nutrient-rich foods with high nutritional content. The objective of this research was to ascertain how growing medium and 6500K white LED light intensity affected the development and production of cowpea microgreens. This investigation was conducted in…
