Abstract

The effect of light level on growth and development of dill herb was studied in a greenhouse under full sunlight and under 70, 50, and 30 percent of full sunlight. Decreasing light levels resulted in decreases in leaf number, leaf area, and plant height. Dill growth and essential oil accumulation increased with increases in the light level and was greatest under full sunlight.
