  • Title: [Greenhouses with a curvilinear planting surface].
    Author: Berkovich IuA, Korbut VA, Pavlovskiĭ VI.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1985; 19(6):77-80. PubMed ID: 2868152.
    Abstract:
    The laws of light distribution in plants sown on the flat plane, spherical or cylindrical surfaces were investigated. In mhicrogravity where the plants are arranged radially the level of illumination of lower leaf strata is higher on curvilinear than on flat surfaces. This is due to the following: as the plants grow they get separated; also, the concentration of the light flux increases with depth of plants on the curvilinear surfaces. In view of this, a space green-house is suggested, the design of which provides high productivity per unit volume and per unit energy of the incident flux of photosynthetically active radiation.
