Abstract
Precise determination of the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) is important for illumination in modern horticultural systems. This paper presents two methods to calculate the PPFD of daylight spectra using low cost optic sensors. The first method uses the spectral sensitivity functions of spectral sensors to recreate the quantum sensitivity curve of quantum sensors. Two sets of spectral sensitivity functions are compared. The second method calculates the PPFD based on the calculated correlated colour temperature and a spectral reconstruction using the CIE daylight model. It is demonstrated that all methods offer a useful estimation of the PPFD with correspondingly similar daylight spectra, but the supposedly simpler method, which is based on weighting of the individual channels, is more stable against deviations from the CIE daylight model.
