  • Abstract
    In this study, we propose a method of controlling the plant shape and height. Plant´s growth can be controlled by changing the lighting condition. In order to change the lighting condition, we adopted the method to use a covering material that absorbs specific wavelength radiation. Results show that the plants grown under covering materials differ from that under natural radiation.
