Chlorophyll b (>90%) (Cat.No:R041780) is a natural green pigment crucial for photosynthesis. It absorbs light in the blue and red regions, complementing the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a. This enhances a plant’s ability to harness light energy for photosynthetic processes, vital for growth and survival.
