Photosynthetically active solar radiation (PSR) – solar radiation within the wavelength range of 380 ¼710 nm – forms a basis of plants' life that determines their photosynthesis. No measurements of photosynthetically active solar radiation (PSR) take place in Ukraine due to the lack of standard devices. Direct, scattered and total PSR is calculated via transition measurements and coefficients, whereas total PSR is measured via sunshine duration – using the indirect method. The purpose of the res
