Abstract

Orthosiphon stamineus Benth, from family Lamiaceae, is locally know as Misai Kucing is very popular herb among Malaysian because of its health benefits such as treatment for gallstones hepatitis, rheumatism, hypertension and etc. to meet the increasing demand for raw materials of this herb, controlled environment agriculture is an alternative an a supplement for herb production. There are various constraints in the commercial cultivation of this herb especially low light. Light is one the most prominent factors influencing herbs quality, growth and development. Thus, LEDs (Light-emitting diodes) technologies have up new perspectives for new sustainable solutions and highly efficient light source for greenhouse lighting. However most challenging for growers when growing plants under LED artificial light source were designing an array of lights adequate for the lighting need for each plot and proper placing of the lights above the plans. Four different level of hight (15H, 20H, 25H and 30H) of LED light were exposed to Misai Kucing in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) trial with the objective to obtain quantitative information about the effect of different level of height of LED light exposure on growth and relative chlorophyll content of Orthosiphon stamineus. From the experiment also proved that O.stamineus exhibited a great ability in adaptation to light intensity as 16.13µmolm-2s-1 which reflected by the high relatively chlorophyll content (SPAD value) is at 20H to 30H treatment.
