LED grow lights helps herbs bring higher returns

Agastache rugosa growth in LED plant growth under the light of growth. Reporter recently in the Qingxin San Hang Town, a herbal tea business interview found that the planting base using LED "light formula" kinds of herbs, successfully cultivated Anoectochilus, Dendrobium, Agastache rugosa and other seedlings.

Into the three pit town collapse in the village of fresh strong herbal tea cultivation base of the greenhouse, iron rack installed on a row of LED lamp. Red, blue LED lights, exudes a soft light, under the growth of Chinese herbal medicine seedlings good. "Plant growth requires photosynthesis, in a relatively confined space, the plant was able to grow strong, and these red, blue LED lights are inseparable relationship." Pan Yueming, general manager of the introduction of blue light on the synthesis of chlorophyll to promote the effect is more obvious, red light to promote flowering and maturation, including sugar synthesis conversion.

It is understood that plant photosynthesis requires 400 to 700nm wavelength of light, in the wavelength range of red light and blue light, in May this year, the base and the Fujian Agricultural University school-enterprise cooperation "spectral planting", the research can Promote plant production of LED lights, put more than 20 million, the construction of greenhouses used to cultivate herbs seedlings.

"Spectral planting" can promote the growth of seedlings, can inhibit some of the seedlings have a harmful effect on the bacteria, pests, to avoid pesticides. If Agrocybe seedlings in the field to be cultivated for four months, and by spectrum planting only twenty Days can be completed seedling cultivation. "According to Pan Yueming introduction, due to shorten the planting cycle of seedlings, pests and diseases can be isolated, the higher the survival rate of seedlings, higher income. With lotus for example, such as in the field planting, lodging rate of 30% -40%, and by spectral planting, lodging rate of only about 10%. At present, the base through the spectral cultivation has successfully cultivated Anemarrhena, Dendrobium, Agastache rugosa and other seedlings, and application in the field planting.
