THE VALUE OF SUNLIGHT IN AGRICULTURE
It is not a new discovery that sunlight is important, but the question is how
important is it in agriculture ?
Sunlight provides the energy plants need to convert carbon dioxide and
water into carbohydrates and oxygen. The carbohydrates produced by
photosynthesis are used for vegetative and reproductive growth and to increase
crop biomass. Because solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, it only occurs
during daylight.
Without the sun, plants can't get the food
they need to grow, reproduce and survive. Unlike animals, plants are
autographs, meaning they create their own food source.
Now we know that the value of sunlight in
agriculture is extremely high!
