[Objective] The aim was to study the properties of novel "light fertilizer", photo-conversion film, in order to evaluate its effect on the environmental factors and morphogenetic process of crops in the high tunnel. [Method] Photo-conversion film and longevous anti-dropping film were compared in terms of light, air and soil temperature utilizing the Facilities of leafy agriculture high tunnel intelligent monitoring system. Verifying the results by farmland experiment. [Result] Photo-conversion film indeed improved the light quality of high tunnel compared with the longevous anti- dripping film. The air and soil temperature was raised several degrees. Results of farmland experiment show that the average value of brassica chinensis fresh weight increased 19.15% compared to the control. [Conclusion] Photo-conversion film promotes more crop growth than longevous anti-dropping film due to improvement of light quality, air and soil temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
