This short wavelength reduce it direct intensity on plant but the high energy it posses makes it of utmost importance with some other light such as green and red in photosynthesis efficiency. It regulate the opening and closing of stomata for CO2 absorption and water regulation. Blue light regulate plant growth and plants grown with blue light are often short with dark green barks.
