Combined effects of photon flux density and far-red radiation on morphology and biomass partitioning in culinary herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley, and sage) - Raw data

The dataset consists of lighting setpoints and raw biometric data for <i>Ocimum basilicum</i> ‘Nufar’ (basil), <i>Coriandrum sativum</i> ‘Santo’ (cilantro), <i>Petroselinum crispum </i>‘Giant of Italy’ (parsley) and <i>Salvia officinalis</i> ‘Extrakta’ (sage) grown under 12 combinations of light intensity (TPFD) and far-red (FR) fraction. The data were generated by Bridget M. Knight and Dr. Erik S. Runkle during a study conducted in the Controlled-Environment Lighting Laboratory (CELL) at Michigan State University from 2024 to 2025. The objective was to quantify the interactive effects of light intensity and FR fraction on the growth, morphology, biomass accumulation, and biomass partitioning of these culinary herbs as seedlings.
