The study explores the relationship between light intensity and leaf temperature difference in strawberry plants grown using biotechnological tools in a vertical system under artificial full-spectrum lighting (AFSL). The research reveals scientific findings that enhance vertical farming practices and increase the sustainability of these systems. The aim of this project is to identify the light intensity, using LED panels, that provides the highest economic return for strawberry cultivation, correlating energy efficiency, morphological, and physiological characteristics in strawberry production. Increased light intensity and leaf temperature resulted in reduced plant development, lowering gas exchange, photosynthetic rates, and chlorophyll levels.
