Low light leads to decreased biomass and mineral nutrient absorption in tobacco.
Low light affects the growth and nutrient absorption of tobacco plants. In a study, researchers found that when tobacco plants were exposed to low light conditions, their growth and distribution of nutrients were significantly impacted. The total biomass of the plants decreased when they received less than 50% of the normal light. However, the mineral content in the roots, stems, and leaves increased with lower light levels. Overall, the total accumulation of mineral nutrients in the plants decreased under low light conditions.
