Abstract

Mung bean plants belong to the leguminous family of Fabaceae which have benefits as a source of high protein vegetable food and is one of the third food commodities after soybeans and peanuts. The purpose of writing this article is to determine an effective color spectrum to accelerate the growth of mung bean seeds through an indication of stem length, number of leaves, and the calculation of the wavelength spectrum used for 4 days of the study. The data obtained were processed in the form of tables and graphs of stem growth and the number of leaves produced by mung bean seeds. The results of data analysis stated that the red color spectrum was the most effective spectrum for plant growth compared to the orange, green and blue color spectrum.
