Abstract

Agricultural production faces several challenges. One of these is adverse weather conditions due to climate change. This phenomenon alters environmental conditions, including light, which is a key factor in agriculture as it directly affects the physiological processes of plants. It is crucial to implement alternatives that optimize production systems to meet the growing demand for food. Therefore, this review proposes to promote the understanding of how different light spectra and intensities influence crop growth, development and yield, as well as the production of bioactive compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants and phytochemicals. This will facilitate the development of more efficient and sustainable cropping systems. The use of photo-selective plastic films, photo-selective nets and photo-selective films in various crops is the focus of this review. It shows that plant growth and development are strongly influenced by different light signals. Light quality plays a crucial role in the regulation of these responses. Photo-selective plastic films, photo-selective nets and photo-selective films have a significant impact on the physiology of production systems under cover. However, plants respond differently to incident radiation. On the other hand, the quality of light also increases the functional quality of agricultural products. It improves the synthesis of organic compounds.
