<![CDATA[Microgreen has the potential to be developed in urban farming systems because of the ease of obtaining planting media and tools to use and can be cultivated on a limited land space. Microgreen radish (Raphanus sativus) is an antioxidant that is good for health and acts as a source of polyphenols. This study aims to determine the growth characteristics of microgreen radish on the effect of variations in planting media and LED grow light and determine the treatment that produces the best growth. The experimental design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: the planting media and irradiation with a factorial pattern of 3 x 3 with three replications, so there were 27 treatments. The results showed no significant effect (P>0.05) between the growing media and grow light on several microgreen growth parameters. However, using grow light and sand media visually showed the best results in several growth parameters. The image acquisition on the whole microgreen planting tray is needed instead of randomly picking a single microgreen for analysis to get more accurate data in determining the effect of planting media and grow light on microgreen growth parameters.]]>
