The regression coefficients were highly significant ( P < 0.01 or P < 0.001) for all harvest dates, showing a positive effect of far-red fraction on light use efficiency.

In the NIR region, leaf reflectance did not show a clear trend according to far-red addition.
In this study, we found an increasing trend for hexose and sucrose contents with increasing far-red fractions.
The chlorophyll content showed a decreasing trend with increasing far-red fraction, with FR09 (20.6 ± 0.8 μg per cm 2 , far-red fraction 0.04) containing the highest concentration and FR72 (far-red fraction 0.21) the lowest concentration (14.8 ± 0.9 μg per cm 2 ).
