and dry weight of the shoots were increased in the plants treated with air
anions compared to the control group. The specific leaf area (SLA) showed
different results depending on the cultivar, with a decrease in the red leaf
lettuce and an increase in the Lollo bionda lettuce. The chlorophyll content in
the leaves was not significantly different between the control and treated
plants.
To evaluate the economic efficiency of applying air anions in plant factories,
a cost-benefit analysis was conducted. The net profit for one cropping period
in a 15 m2 cultivation area was calculated by subtracting the expenses from
the revenue. The total expenses included the cost of the air anion generators
and the electric power consumed for their operation. The total revenue was
calculated based on the increased production of lettuce and the retail price.
The analysis showed that applying air anions resulted in a net profit for both
cultivars of lettuce.
Based on the findings, the study concludes that the application of air anions
can improve the growth and profitability of lettuce production in plant
factories. The results suggest that this cultivation method utilizing electricity
