Abstract
This data set contains the underlying data of the scientific publication: 
Pennisi, G., Orsini, F., Landolfo, M., Pistillo, A., Crepaldi, A., Nicola, S., Fernandez J.A., Marcelis L.F.M., Gianquinto, G. (2020). Optimal photoperiod for indoor cultivation of leafy vegatables and herbs. European Journal of Horticultural Science , 85 (5), 329-338.   https://doi.org/10.17660/eJHS.2020/85.5.4 
For each species (lettuce, basil, chicory, rocket) are reported the values of: fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW), shoot-root ratio (RS), dry matter (DM), number of leaves (N_foglie), leaf area (Area), Specific leaf area (SLA), plant height (only for basil), Light Use Efficiency (LUE), Energy Use Efficiency (EUE), Water Use (WU), Water Use Efficiency, Leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), Stomatal conductance (Cond). The treatments used in the experiment are: photoperiod of 16 hours/day (PH16), photoperiod of 20 hours/day (PH20) and photoperiod of 24 hours/day (Ph24). The three letters (a,b,c) indicate the three replications of the experiment.
