Abstract :

This research had conducted to investigate light intensity effects on the lucky bamboo growth in Islamic Azad University, Abhar Branch. The experiment arranged as a complete randomized block design with five treatments (0.75, 1.14, 1.89, 2.29 and 4.09 mmol m-2 s-1) in ten replications. Results showed that 1.89 mmol m-2 s-1 had significant differences than other treatments. The higher level of root number, shoot length and total weight of plants were obtained under 1.89 mmol m-2 s-1. Number of shoot, shoot length and number of leaves per shoot were different in different nodes and were highest in uppermost node.
