Taught blue, and white) as the main plots and two cultivars (Orange Flame and Deep Orange) as the subplots, replicated three times. The results showed that the blue light treatment significantly increased plant height, leaf area, and chlorophyll content compared to the other light treatments. Additionally, lutein content was higher in plants grown under blue light compared to red, taught blue, and white light. These findings suggest that blue light can positively influence growth characteristics and carotenoid accumulation in African marigold, specifically enhancing lutein production.
