LED auxiliary light source to make strawberry production season extended twice

Taiwan ITRI use light-emitting diode (LED) light source, build greenhouse with energy-saving cooling techniques and specially designed A tower-shaped three-dimensional cultivation, success for strawberry season was extended twice.

Subject to the weather conditions, Taiwan Strawberry birth about 12 months to April. ITRI ??team in sunlight greenhouse in, during the strawberry growing, using energy-saving cooling control technology to simulate the most suitable temperature and humidity strawberry growing; with patented A-shaped tower-dimensional cultivation, drainage and sunshine make strawberry conditions less susceptible to external natural climatic conditions.

Shortage of places in the sunshine, with LED auxiliary light, success for the production of strawberries is extended to August-September; the entire strawberry production season extended doubled. Due to the greenhouse cultivation of strawberries, only trace amounts of pesticides in seedling add pest control during the strawberry growing use of biological predators and non-pesticidal materials do pest control, and with bee pollination, fruit development to promote full, you can ensure that the harvest of strawberries representing no pesticide residues.

ITRI ??team while optimizing the use of plant LED grow light system technology to assist viticulture; only helps fruit grow grapes, but also to increase grape anthocyanins ingredients, but also energy-efficient than conventional spiral bulb for more than 80%.

Branch, deputy director of the institute in Greenhouse Technology Center Huang Tianfu said the LED light source applications in terms of plant growth, is a major breakthrough in recent years, has been the use of related technologies, respectively, in Yunlin and Changhua strawberry, grape growers planted assist .

Taiwan LED optoelectronics industry with a complete supply chain and custom design capability, advanced agricultural planting technology leads the world in particular, if the combination of the two advantages, will create a globally competitive high added value and high-quality LED light source applications produce.
